The Value of Peer-to-Peer Perspective

Testimonial
So many strategic plans only highlight broad directions or repeat predictable priorities. The WAV Group delivered a true blueprint for action with specific – and attainable – tactics and deliverables that encouraged our team to take ownership.
The process started with Marilyn acting as a world-class facilitator: She challenged us to think past today, consider disruptive scenarios and focus on our core strengths and value proposition as a state association to our members and partners.
The staff and Board of Directors were energized and eager to move forward – I’ve never seen a planning process end with a standing ovation before! WAV Group and Marilyn really delivered beyond our expectations.

Why Are So Many Great Association Executives Getting Fired? Part 2: The Failure Happens Before They’re Even Hired
About a year has gone by since my last article about why great Association Executives are getting fired and the landscape hasn’t improved much so I’m back at it. My observation is that many Association Executive failures don’t start with the CEO. They start with a board that never defined what success actually looks like. Six, twelve, or eighteen months later, everyone is frustrated. The board says the CEO “isn’t the right fit.” The CEO feels blindsided.. Confidence erodes. Staff morale drops. And another talented executive exits the industry wondering what just happened, sometimes after a very expensive lawsuit.

How Volunteer Leaders can Avoid Inadvertently Firing Top Notch Association Executives
Today brokerages representing over 600,000 agents cannot or will not require NAR membership because of their proposed lawsuit settlements. Whether from litigation, DOJ rulings or the belief from brokerages (especially the $2 billion crowd) that NAR let them down, it is anything but business as usual right now. All Association leaders need to be open to new ways to doing business to be able to ride out this storm. Forward-looking, strategic AE’s recognize these vulnerabilities. They are effectively partnering with their volunteer leaders to push the envelope, eliminating outdated or poorly attended programs and focusing their attention on preparing for future scenarios that may be foisted on the industry from lawyers, the DOJ or some other unknown threat.
