Ep 97: The Elephant You're Ignoring Won't Save Your Club
In this episode of Basket Case Clubs, Michael takes us back to a weekend planning workshop that was going brilliantly... until one life member pointed to the “elephant in the room” and stopped everything in its tracks.
From unpaid rates to unspoken tensions, Michael unpacks why clubs must deal with their elephants early, whether it’s money, governance, facilities or even people who’ve outstayed their welcome.
Join Michael as he shares lessons on honest conversations, sacking volunteers (when you have to) and why pretending problems don’t exist is the fastest way to turn a showcase club back into a basket case!
Tune in, reflect and ask yourself, "What elephants are hiding in my clubroom?".
