When managers are mistaken for leaders

It's no secret that the Blog has been highly critical of the Sutherland's managerial performance of our Association - and for good reason.  Despite their near decade-long reign in dictating just about every facet of life here at Glen Iris Lofts, finding examples where traditional business management principles have even been discussed - much less implemented - is next to impossible.  The reason for this is pretty simple.  Despite the fact that they manage an annual budget that is now nearly a half a million dollars and that by the end of this year, will have enjoyed the unfettered ability to determine how and where almost $4 million dollars of Association funds will have been spent, the Sutherlands don't run our Association like a business.
