To which I get some blank stares. And, I follow it up with "WHO is in the hurry? Is it the candidate? Or, is it us?" The reason for the second set of questions is that the candidate may be in a "hurry" due to work, family, or life pressures and schedules that mean it fits better for him. In the case of US being in a hurry, it is because some lodges are so desperate to get new blood (and thus give the long-timers a breather) that we push folks through, push them into line before they're ready - and then watch out, instead of the traditional 7 year line progression, we see these new MM's going to the east in 3 or maybe 4 years and getting overwhelmed. Thus, we're really short-changing ourselves if that's the motivation<br /><br />There's no real "one size fits all" for this question and, as mentioned in the main body, maybe it's not really the right question to begin with. Forcing a man to undergo the long form (or whatever) process JUST because that's the way WE did it is a sure-fire method for losing the man at some point - whether it is because he finds the entire process overwhelming, or because he's not READY to progress on OUR schedule.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946741503746316547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909814477098868440.post-14135071252087467462015-01-06T03:03:54.928-06:002015-01-06T03:03:54.928-06:00Its a question of expiriance in re-ality!!!
