Well.... lol
Ive only skim read so forgive me if ive missed something (or loads) but it seems like a few problems are obvious
People are getting emotional.. Not productive at all!!
There seems to be no clear points to be addressed, just views and a couple of things kinda hanging in the air. Be specific!
If you ask me
....
Look at the most successful sports and examine what model they use (Mat would be a good guy to talk to unless you know someone better regarding business models/structures)
How can that model be applied
Dan, have you sat down with Neil and asked if this is doable and he actually wants the change?
Communication is key!! By using this forum you are doing yourself and everyone else a MASSIVE disservice! 80% of communication is non-verbal, and text compounds the problem. Phone or skype at a minimum, face to face ideally.
Outline points and stick to them! One at a time!
If anyone starts becoming emotional, stop the meeting at once! Tea break and calm down (cant stress this enough)
Involve as many people as you can, the more people are involved the more they want to see it work! (Tried and tested fact)
Oh, and leave nothing to assumption, again be specific, ask the stupid question (their are no stupid questions!)
