1. The social sector needs to adopt some private sector rigour and best practices<\/h3>

Did you mean things like reasonable pay and working coffee machines? No? You meant more trackers and review meetings. Definitely the first time anyone’s had that idea!<\/p>

\"shit<\/p>

 <\/p>

2. Are we really moving the needle?<\/h3>

Well it’s been 45 minutes since this meeting was scheduled to end, leaving no time to do any actual work so at least we’re moving the needle towards quitting time.<\/p>

\"shit<\/p>

 <\/p>

3. Collaboration is critical for success<\/h3>

But only if our funders make us. And we get all the credit.<\/p>

\"What<\/a><\/div>

\"shit<\/p>

 <\/p>

4. Working with the government is core to what we do<\/h3>

60% of the advocacy team’s bodies now consists of sweet milky tea.<\/p>

\"shit<\/p>

 <\/p>

5. *Generic joke about people sleeping in the session after lunch*<\/h3>

\"shit<\/p>

 <\/p>

6. The focus should always be on the child\/community\/rare fish species that is only found in the lake behind our founders house.<\/h3>

You know except when the funders are around. Then always focus on the funders.<\/p>

\"shit<\/p>

 <\/p>

7. I’ll keep it short\/I won’t take too much time.<\/h3>

Lol.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

 <\/p>

8. We have an extremely lean team<\/h3>

Not literally because that joke would have been too easy.<\/p>
