Coyote Commentary from Four Bears Segment

MICRO MANAGEMENT?, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? IS IT GOOD OR BAD?

I have heard this word from time to time, the word is usually used in a negative light, for it seems that it is not a good thing.  However, lets look in a dictionary on what the word means:
Micro:   which means ="limited, restricted, narrow and confined"
Management: which means="administration, supervision and managing"

So therefore, it could mean limited administration, restricted management or narrow supervision.
If an Individual Department is working and or operating in the manner that the membership, Tribal Business Council and Administration Intended, no issue is raised.  If it's not broken, you don't need to fix it. Trying to fix something that's not broken, " Now that would be considered negative or bad politics."

But, if there is a program or project not being run as intended or expected and notice is given and adequate time is afforded to address the issue, to make the necessary changes and still, it does not take place.
Something must be done; the membership demands it and as Tribal Council Members, we must listen to our membership.

Therefore, the Tribal Council takes the necessary action to get things corrected, however it can be confused with politics and/or Micro-Management.
For instance the adequate and timely provision of Tribal Services to the enrolled membership of the Three Affiliated Tribes. Or the timely completion of a road project or building project.  Patience is not acceptable because the Tribal Memberships' needs are now.

The Tribal Business Council body is elected and asked to produce change today, not tomorrow.  For such things as  food, water, shelter and employment, this is not to much to ask.
There is an old saying that states: "If you want something done right, do it yourself".  The Tribal Council then, does the job that was not getting done.  And yes, we may be accused of Micro Management, but it could be considered positive or good politics.

The Coyote Commentary is my own personal opinion and should not be taken as the official position of the Tribal Business Council. Thank You. "Mod-zi-gidaz"
