I ref for the money and the groupies.
Seriously though, I hope when/if I am no longer capable of doing "the job" and if I personally don't see it, someone has the "stones" to take me aside and let me know. It's called "tough love."
As a manager for many yrs you need to counsel, mentor, provide evaluations, tell people they're not going to get promoted or a raise, etc. Tough, but it must be done. Those Sr. in the Association's should have this responsibility - gotta take the good with the bad. JMO
