Go to Post I'm impressed and incredibly amused that you found so many of Dave's evildoings, though granted, they aren't that hard to search out. - DCA Fan [more]

Re: A team takes credit for chairman's for something they didn't do?

I personally try to be very clear with my team about what they can and cannot take credit for.

For example, a couple of weeks ago I went up to another teams shop and worked with them and a few other teams on making sure they would be good for inspection. I did that in my role as an LRI, not as a mentor for my team, so my team can't take credit for it. I help run some of the off season events around here - again, and an LRI, not a team mentor, so my team can't take credit for helping to run it.

Other items, like helping with a team presentation, or getting them signed up for a demo at a sponsor the team can take credit for. It's something I did in my role as a team mentor.

So, the question really is... What role was the mentor fulfilling when he started the community center? Was he working to further his team's goals, or doing it as an act of volunteerism with the wider community, independent of his team?

To put another twist on it... Teams have students graduate every year, but they still take credit for what the graduates did while they were on the team. My team helped start a Lego league team a couple of years ago. None of the students involved are still on the team, but that doesn't stop us from taking credit for it!
