Often I get questions from off my various sites – here is one such concern - what to do when those around are not following the laws or policies of an organization to which they belong.
“Am hoping to get a little bit of guidance from you. I seem to have a really hard time with those around me when they don't follow stated policies. So I guess my problem isn't so much that the some are bending/breaking the rules, but the leadership are not having any concern or problems with them doing so and they continue to support such things.”
As times have brought
many ‘ideas’ into play within the each of the various organizations to which we
belong or affiliate – over and over some think they are more aware of what is
needed than the by-laws to which they’ve agreed to sustain or obey. The best
advice that I can give is what I have followed from the beginning to any
organization to which I affiliate, “I go because I know (absolutely know) that
it is the right thing to do or be part of at this point of my life!” I’ve
watched many over the years do what they believe are the rules as bended. Only
when they murmur, criticize the rules or other leaders, or otherwise attack
another’s integrity – do we speak to the organizational leaders. We’ve to
remember each is accountable for their own actions even those who’re in
leadership positions. Depending on where we find ourselves – many times in
leadership positions or simply attendees – we see that which we can strive to
correct, however, another might see nothing wrong with what is going on – as
it’s been that way since they can remember. We just don’t do it – and we
understand the heads of the organization and their guidance and council to each
of us.
Outside of one being
or choosing to be offended – this is one of the biggest reasons most membership
in any organization stop attending! However, this only hurts the one who leaves
the organization and will never correct the situation. Again, we belong to an
organization because we believe in its goals and beliefs – all of the positives
from knowing this override any of the negatives. People will be people – just
because they join our organization doesn’t mean they’ll be ‘perfect’ and many
(like ourselves) have a long way to go (smile) – and we’re not to judge
another.
If the behavior will
endanger the organization – then the leadership should be told (asap) – when
others do not follow the organizational policies – in our Interviews with the
leadership we can bring this up as something which bothers us – many times once
this is done we leave it in their hands. It is when we don’t that we tend to
get into trouble with our own thinking and let it eat away at us.
We’ve
to be true to ourselves and our standards – and always be mindful of what we
decide to belong to or a part of an organization – remember that if we know –
absolutely know something to be true – then no one else’s behavior will have an
effect on us. Yes many violate the rules and or bend them to meet their desires
or goals. Let it not be us doing such – c/ork

As the child violates
bed time
an athlete violates a
curfew
worldly violate
Commandments
doing what is not
within rules;
A world full of the
so many fools
ignoring laws,
statutes, commandments
while standing alone
are the few
knowing never to
cross right’s line!
