Tomorrow I must do my talk to the Chief Eggseks. I will be the only Pee in the room and I will be talking to the Chief Eggseks about what it is like to be a Pee in a membership body and how it can go so badly wrong that you end up being unable even to get a Strategic Plan past the nitpicking stage. One key difference between a Chief Eggsek and a Pee is that a Chief Eggsek knows how to run an organisation properly and a Pee does not. Another key difference, which is linked to the first one, is that a Chief Eggsek is paid to run an organisation properly, whereas a Pee is not. To be fair, it is probably reasonable not to be paid for doing something you hope you’ll pick up as you go along, although that doesn’t seem to apply to politicians. What I would like to find out from the Chief Eggseks is how difficult it is when people like me bumble around putting spanners in the works and sending emails full of mad ideas, when you are actually just trying to keep the organisation in one piece. Also, what you should do if you have a disruptive CEO and a disruptive Pee at the same time. And which of them should be the more ruthless dictator, or whether there is a way of sharing ruthlessness so that no one loses out. I have decided I will not after all be talking to them about Leadership. No sir; definitely not. Because we do not need Leadership at CIPA. We have a Charter and some recently de-bollocked Bye-laws, and we have 26 good Council members and true, and that is plenty to be going on with.
