This is a absolute dictatorship! This is how I would describe the my governance style when compared to other similar organizations. When most people set out to start a non-profit or any club organization they do so with a group of people. Many take solice in leaving the decision making to a group of individuals instead of taking on the challenges alone, not me. Committees, boards or whatever name they may go by are great for some organizations but not mine. Things tend to slow down when more people are involved, egos tend to grow and unification is sometimes difficult to obtain. I prefer an organization that is stripped down to the bare bones management that is necessary, not a board just for the sake of having one. The Highland Knights Drum & Bugle Corps was chartered with an advisory board, powerless but there. To take a few from Bill Cook, the legendary founder of the Star Of Indiana Drum & Bugle Corps,
"A dictator is responsible for all decisions and acts of a drum corps. He/she has a vision where the organization is going and how to get the organization to the destination. A dictator must be benevolent or ruthless, keeping in mind that survival of the organization is more important than any individual. A dictator cannot share power; he/she consolidates it."
