taking over a sloppy mess of a group ex program that has not been monitored. Instructors resistance to authority
Instructors not answering my e mails requesting updates on their certifications, instructors not teaching on the phrase, members who are super bossy. I’ve only been there a week and its my first coordinating job. I would like to tighten things up and add/remove some classes, and i know that it will create pushback from instructors and members. I don’t want to come off as a nag from the get -go. Please, any advice will be MOST helpful.
Hi Stacy,
thanks for the clarification.
You need to have a discussion with your boss first. Allowing instructors without a valid certification can put the facility at risk from a liability standpoint.
I would prepare for the meeting with the new boss with observations and maybe some suggestions. I also suggest to get to know the members better. There are usually very few who are much more vocal than others and set the tone. But that does not mean that everybody agrees with them. If you can identify those, you can try to get them over to your side.
Good luck with your new job.
