I am asked to do many things in my various volunteer groups. My credo is
Iris does what interests Iris!
* If it doesnt interest Iris, she wont take it on.
* If it is a stupid and unnecessary goal, it is therefore uninteresting to Iris, and she will not take on a role that is responsible for achieving the goal.
Badgering and guilting and fawning ego strokes are not tools that work on Iris. Save your breath.
