[Bobwhite Blather] Placing process before results

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

Bobwhite Blather has posted a new item, 'Placing process before results'

A smooth-running troop is the dream of every Scoutmaster. Every Scout doing what
he should do, youth leaders firmly in charge, and the senior patrol leader
taking direction from the Scoutmaster and leading the other youth.

Most troops don't fit that image, however. Patrols seem to vary from adequately
prepared to barely functioning. It can be frustrating for a Scoutmaster to not
see the Scouts getting anything done.

The same can apply to the troop committee. You see committee members not doing
things the way you'd do them. You're tempted to micromanage or just do things
yourself.

When this happens, it's time to step back and understand the real aim and the
best approach to let the process take its course, rather than trying to fret
about the end result.
