To me, this seems more relevant for more established groups. Perhaps thinking about operational tasks vs skilling up shouldn’t be thought of in terms of percentages, but in terms of necessary vs supplemental tasks. I would imagine things like sending emails, doing 1:1s, buying food for events, etc. are necessary for any group to stay alive. So if you are the only HEA for your uni group, you might have to spend 90% of your time doing these (and tbh I think this would be the right call). But when it comes to things like doing an egregious amount of marketing or anything else that doesn’t seem necessary, perhaps skilling up should be prioritized. Also, I didn’t see the multiplier effect come up anywhere, and I’m interested to hear how heavily you weight it.
Strong upvote.
