Not really Jim. This type will join, then undermine.


How, Mike?

Seems to me this guy talks a rope. OK, fine, put him to work on *one thing*.
Like "OK, get us a speaker for the next meeting". Then stand back.

Dunno if you read my other reply, Jim. There was the explanation of
why. Normal people don't act like that, and if someone like that ever
shows up to play for a team of mine again, they'll get a "thanks but no
thanks" really quick.

Have you ever met a person that within 5 minutes of meeting you, feels
compelled to tell you all kinds of details about their life that you'd
normally share only with very close friends? That's a similar sort of
personality, only more passive than the type that want's to run the club
after 2 meetings. Bad news.

The end result is always that they quit. So we might as well cut to the
chase. That way there is less damage. If I would have just tossed the
guy early on, there would have been a hockey team doing well and paying
it's bills, instead of a team in disarray, eventually disbanding and
costing the league money that other teams have to make up. One person
with the con man ability messing up things for several hundred people.

That's how.
