Episode Synopsis

Send us a textIn this candid conversation, hosts Elisa Pratt and Andrew Chamberlain challenge the relentless pursuit of new ideas and constant change in association management. They explore how organizations often chase innovative strategies without implementing existing solutions, leading to instability rather than growth. The hosts propose that in today's turbulent environment, associations might benefit more from stability and consolidation than continuous transformation. They advocate for focusing on "the donkey work" - the unglamorous but essential tasks of data management, resource optimization, and purposeful prioritization. The episode offers a refreshing counterpoint to motivational business literature, suggesting that success comes not from new philosophies but from execution, perspective, and the courage to do less and do it exceptionally well.Support the show
