What you are learning from, and how

You describe yourself in adjectives — responsible, proactive. You judge other people by what they actually did. The second method works on you too.

You have the number. What is left is what to do with it, and the answer is almost never "work faster" — it is "group them".

Clubs rarely die from a mistake. They die because the outgoing president leaves with everything they knew and the new one starts from an empty drive. Beginning the handover in the last week is already too late.

A new board almost always starts by redoing things. Some of what it is redoing worked — nobody just said so out loud.

Clubs decay with nobody to blame. Power simply accumulates in one pair of hands until there is no one left who can say no.

One person has the social accounts, and when they go on Erasmus the club goes quiet. Trust has nothing to do with it. What is missing is an office.

The strategic plan sits on a drive while the club lives a different life. The real strategy is wherever the money and the hours actually went.

You start a conversation about the club's brand and five minutes in everyone is talking about the logo. Meanwhile the club already owns five things nobody paid for, and nobody is talking about those.

"Where is our projector?" has no answer because the projector belongs to everyone. Anything that belongs to everyone belongs, in practice, to nobody.

You close the event with one sentence about money, and everything you learned about the people and about what you threw away disappears with that sentence.

A club promises more in a term than it remembers. An unkept promise costs less than you think; the silence about it is what costs.

You led a hundred people for two years and it fits on your CV as one line nobody can check. The badge you get here can be checked: an employer opens it and sees who issued it, to whom, and what for.
