"Agency mutual aid and incident management procedures (mostly the Incident Command System) have to be understood and followed. Most personnel report to assignments away from home stations, usually with their complete personal mobile,
portable or transportable voice and/or digital hf and/or vhf stations. (An exception may be Red Cross accessing the NTS with a large volume of public service H&W traffic.) It is noted that more than one organization failed when its personnel refused to leave their homes and take their equipment to operate where the agency needed it!
"Standard management techniques should be followed within the organization. A social "club think" approach propagated by those with "club syndrome (Good Ol' Boys) virus" can't and won't provide a professional organization.
"Only personnel who qualify for positions (as described in the agency job description) will fill those positions. Those who understand that importance become the valued unpaid professional staff for the agency. Those who do not, and think people have to be paid to do that quality of work, are never seen again.
"If personnel do not meet standards, they should be offered an opportunity to improve and if that doesn't work, they can and should be fired. There have been cases where someone was "let go" justifiably (Editor:fired) and under "club think" by the "Good Ol' Boys" the rest of the organization quit. With that kind of non-professional approach, it was probably the best thing that could happen.
