A Word On Committees

Repost

I've been around the block a few times so it's humorous to me when I hear some committee, team or focus group came up with some idea or another.

When I worked in radio we had two number one rated radio stations in Allentown.

How is that possible?
Well... each bought a survey from a different firm. Each firm would then survey a different specific area knowing signal strength and type of followers in a region favored one radio station over the other. Hence both could be #1 via a predetermined outcome.

Much it is the same way with how committees work. Both politicians and businesses create these things to reinforce their desired outcome.

After being naive enough to sign up at the company I worked for, it wasn't belong before I figured this little scheme out. We were told, "well that's what second shift wants". Second shift was told, "well that's what first shift wants". Same goes for third shift and what they were told. Yeah, like we wouldn't talk amongst ourselves. When backed into a corner, management would come up with... "well while all the teams agreed, we can't get funding or corporate policy states... blah blah blah"

It makes the suckers employees feel like they're part of the process.When committees are managed well, they produce the intended outcomes by those who create, lead and organized them.

The point is almost all government committees operate this way as well.
