Rgw

[TeaLeaf]

Guys, I am getting very concerned with Drae's management style.   I think his commitment and perseverance is unquestionable, but policitcally and in management terms he's a walking cluster-**** at times.

How do we help him?  Is there anything we can do to pick up some of the load?

My own thoughts are that we could get involved with the interview process ourselves (with him) to make sure there is a higher level of buy-in.   But we can't be there all the time.

Can we promote anyone to help out more?  Sharp seems sound but is not always around.

The problem is that the talent pool is appalling and we have nobody in it to promote into a position to help Drae - so do we go for recruitment as an option to find more leaders?  

Left to his own devices I suspect Drae's regular inability to handle things in a sensitive fashion will kill RGW.

I do not think that doing nothing is an option.  I sense an implosion in RGW real soon if we stand by and do not take action of some sort.

I have the same concerns... His comments regarding pals seem a bit harsh. Then again i can feel his frustration, The team he is running with has a number of members that seriously under perform. In truth without coms they should not even be raiding (hermi / pals / myth ) come to mind. The thing is they are all great social players just poor raiders.

The options I see are

 Allow drea to run it and recruit / replace people as needed (implosion)
Force Drea to run a squad thats sub par

or .......... Im at a loss

so do we go for recruitment as an option to find more leaders?  I think i would sit on the no camp for this unless we know what/who we are getting. I think rgw needs to run its own path. Drea is not the most PC player in the world tho hes been carrying players for alot longer that i suspect we would have in RGT

I think we are hitting a point where we need to promote for rgw ... I know we are short on options but i see a point soon where switch will be thrown in at the deep end will very little support. The only person i can see being of any help to him would be sharpefang. I understand we have concerns regarding this but I think we need to do it and see how it plays out. Nims would be an option if he was about more

Any idea how to keep them ticking over ?

Just an update ... Talking to drea and switch after the raid

Drea will be steping down as RL from monday his last raid ... hes still about but not on much (possible backup if on but taking a break..) hes suffering with depresion and needs some time out to get his prio's sorted. After running rgw i would be ready for cutting my wrists too

Switch has offerd to step in and hold the torch for rgw. Hes asked if sharpe can assist him running the raids the same way he has been helping Drea. I have no problem with this and think its only fair to give him a chance and support him in the transition over the next few raids. I know its not perfect but its the best we have at the mo

Ill post up something after monday thanking drea for his work with rgw ... and regarding the changeover to switch.

We may need to have a quick peek thu the RL section for any sensitive topics before the change ... not sure if we delete or just archive


Im thinking of raiding with rgw for a week to help the change over... but only if rgt has the healer cover
