  <p>MG asks for questions</p>
   <p>Do you foresee any problems for contract staff (Majk Stokes (M),
Eliza Giles (E), Ken Latham (K)) going forward?</p>
     <p>August: 3 people in an office with 2 PCs</p>

       financial reporting</p>
       <p>Safe is in two parts, MS and MG have keys to the top, there's a
       key to the bottom therein</p>
       <p>Passwords?</p>
     <p>September - carpet changeover will need attention from staff, but
       they should be up for it</p>

        <title> Transition Management structure</title>
        <p>MG: Thinks JD is sufficient for what's coming</p>
            <p>At AR time, we'll look at the JD if need be</p>
            <p>Structure: As flat as possible: when in doubt, send email
                       to all 3.  Leave it up to them to choose who
                       does something that you ask to be done.  Work
                       as a team.</p>
            <p>A small uplift across the board, say 1%, would be a good
             signal that we recognise their contribution.</p>

<p class="a">HST and MG to arrange for more building keys, for MHMC

   <p>[MG: MS was not the AMHM that MG needed -- outstanding MHA, but
        resisted attempts to get him to step up sooner.]</p>
   <p>[good threshing period -- Job Description is simple to update, key
    part of expectation management is getting the Aims and Objectives
    Calling this a Manager post carries an expectation of e.g. a 5-year
 plan and a budget.]</p>
