The Hierarchy of Service
In my book, Leadership on the Line: A Guide for Front Line Supervisors, Business Owners, and Emerging Leaders, I stress that leaders must serve the needs of their constituencies, but not all constituent needs have equal weight or importance.
Representing the membership is the board – the smallest constituent group in numbers, but their needs are paramount. Why? Because they represent the members whose capital that has been invested in the club and their need to protect all members’ investment in the club and its reputation in the community. If not profitable and self-supporting, if the club cannot gain credit based on the potential for future profitability, if it cannot meet its cash needs for payroll or to pay vendors, it will go out of business and the needs of all other constituencies will become irrelevant.
Obviously, protecting the members’ investment is important. Why would any person want to belong to a failing club, where their invested capital is being diminished by a poor reputation and shrinking membership. While there may be other reasons for continuing to belong to a club – such as family tradition, loyalty to friends; a sense of obligation to community; even the hope of improved future performance – over the long haul members will not be willing to risk their reputation and capital in a poor-performing club.
The basis for the traditional hierarchical organizational model is the military concept of chain of command.
In this model, management is represented as the sequence of authority in executing the will of the board – and certainly management plays that essential role. But in addition to not representing the importance of the club’s members, it also places the employees at the bottom of the chain – thereby visually relegating them to the position of least consequence.
Next in order of importance are the needs of the members. Without a robust membership patronizing the club, it will not be profitable or viable. If not viable, it will not last long – and all constituencies lose.
Ultimately, like customers everywhere, members are attracted by price and the quality of products and services. Taken together, quality and price create a sense of
