RRCamp1.2 – , from thoughts and words to creation

According to Honbu dojo's new strategic plan 2010-2015, the innovation RRCamp – leadership development was discontinued. The previous strategic plan also focused on leadership development, but more on how to maintain, manage and develop a single department. The new strategic plan takes the step further and focuses on leadership development at a higher level with several departments, and management through other managers in the form of a professional, contributing and competent local board, which also relates to the local management team, which has day-to-day management.

This is not quite as easy as it sounds. It can be challenging in a company with a paid and selected workforce, but it is much easier here, as you have many management tools at your disposal, an often homogeneous and well-trained staff who have vested interests in the job and the company. In addition, one has an important mandate in the extreme; management and dismissal rights.

You don't have that in a democratic association according to the Danish Associations Act. The members reflect the entire diversity of the Danish population, who have voluntarily come to us and been welcomed with open arms. It is therefore a fantastic heterogeneous group, from primary school to university students, youth workers, special workers to skilled workers, academics, the street sweeper to the director, to singles, families, couples, children, and even of all ages, who all have one common platform; Yakami Shinsei-ryu Karate-do.

However, they all expect a certain form of structure throughout an organization and thus management. A management that is all voluntary and unpaid, and that therefore wants to contribute to the local school and the local community, and at the same time learn and experience true leadership.

True leadership! The Janteloven comes into play here. Elaborate!.

In an association with a non-homogeneous people and with voluntary and unpaid labor, which spends little free time on others and society, you will have to lead through the power of example and motivation. We therefore say that in Shindenkan we must meet where the people are. This means that you have to lead through yourself, – and without management and dismissal rights.

In Shindenkan, there are all kinds of leaders outside of Shindenkan. But one thing is certain, and that is that actually everyone who has gone through Shindenkan's management training has also become a leader in the private or public business world, and the leaders who were in advance have experienced bigger and sometimes violent career leaps.

Shindenkan's management training therefore creates results and does not just talk the talk. However, the demands also increase the higher you go in the hierarchy, which is quite natural, since the Shindenkan reflects the surrounding society.

We consider ourselves a harmless and heavily contributed organization to society, as we meet people where they are and take them on a journey if they feel like it. A journey they can always get off of, but also continue with for the rest of their lives. It is entirely up to the members themselves.

But it is clear that you cannot develop leaders without them also being given responsibility and being hung up on set results; both personally, but also managerially.

We therefore have a degree system through the martial arts system Yakami Shinsei-ryu Karate-do (and subsequently 3 other higher-level with overlapping systems) and management tools, where we measure both the hard facts and soft facts according to the results and goals that must be met in the laid five year's strategic plan.

In the eyes of many, this sounds very professional and ambitious.

But try to consider this question; If you would like to contribute voluntarily and unpaid in your scarce free time to the local school and the community, - do you want to do it unprofessionally, unambitiously, with lots of playing time and managerially according to the Laissez Faire method? Or top professional, efficient, no wasted time and results-oriented?.

We at Shindenkan think the latter is the most fun, and so think about having a whole training arena where you can practice life outside of Shindenkan!.

This is what RRCamps are all about. It is Budo and Bujutsu in the original sense in our old multi-track martial arts system, and when we now have the skills in the organization from top to bottom, why not make the best of it?.
