If you ask around the club, you will find varying reviewing on varying things. One subject area seems to get the same review from everyone. We at the MABT members receive the same reports regarding the Tokyo American Club general manager. We’re really wondering what is going on.
This is a very important job as the GM role is entrusted with the staff and resources of the club. Our money.
We would like to recommend that the Board of Governors review the performance of the GM in managing the resources, rapport with the membership, and financial performance of the club. If the GM performance is good, then the pay should be good. If the performance is… well you get the idea.
All the members of the Making A Better TAC (MABT) team were surprised at the renewal of the current GM’s contract by the board of governors. Of course, you could argue that we need to have consistency in management as we go into our new facility. Did anyone see what they membership thought about the GM?
We put the question out to you. We are not here to trash anyone, or to blindly say “they’re doing a great job”. What is your experience as a TAC member.
Overall are you happy with the GM and his performance over the last few years? What are some good things the GM has done? What are some things that concern you? Please feel free to comment below. The more feedback we have the better.
Encourage your BOG member to do real reviews of this GM role as it is detrimental to the health of the Tokyo American Club.
Well the contract renewal offer was for 12 months. He refused so the BOG made it for 18 months.
Judging by his robust responses at the TH meeting, I would be very surprised if he allowed himself to be bound by a whole lot of performance review paperwork and nit-picking.
In lieu of the club paying him out of the contract, it is now a case of like it or lump it.
He has become a free range rooster.
