The evening was felt less comforting than it would have been as the sun went over the crystal blue, cloudless horizon for me yesterday.
It was myself, along with a complete roster of The Continental Marshals invited to a special meeting for a particular growing American State Assembly to the south. I must say this meeting was quite unique! However, regardless of the rarity of those having attended, the theme of the cause for the meeting itself was the familiar "Conflict Resolution" issue.
And, I must also say these particular conflicts are largely - similarly internal by nature of the details, and are (almost entirely) the same relative conflict details my team and I have witnessed other Assemblies struggle through, and who have now also arrived at the other end with impressive perseverance!
The genre continues to be an all-too familiar selection among the people. The theme of the scenario is also well known. The stage has been set. The only differences in this occasion, though are the simply location of the altercation and the people involved are - themselves fairly new to the scene.
The remedy, however, for the repeat occurrence of train wreck type drama scenarios is (and will always appear to be) a proper and complete internal conflict cooperative resolution asset service.
If only for the fact that the Federation of States thought it best to have both The Continental Marshals Service and The Peacekeeping Task Force in special attendance to offer help by sharing joint perspectives on the issues - was, indeed an interesting, and uniquely productive opportunity!
This particular Assembly has reported to have been grappling with such issues for a significant amount of time already (perhaps for well over a year). And, although those currently serving within the Assembly does appear to be active and eager to grow their Assembly, they currently lack one or two elements built to help restore harmony amongst mounting issues.
Please meet:
- The State-elected Marshal-at-Arms
&
- The State Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service
Without both these service providers; one State-elected to maintain singular loyalty to the State Assembly organization itself.
...and the other (a separate and impartial organization) an Assembly-appointed role built to offer an exclusive environment by effectively intercepting bonified grievances to a proper setting - thereby shielding the General Assembly meeting floor from excess internal issues.
And, of course, this then sets the entire service journey of Conflict Resolution into a very impressive productive motion!
Needless to say, without both internal peacekeepers working in correct tandem to deal with real, or perceived conflict, then this (as well as any other government service structure) will falter, become stagnant, grow bitter towards serving members, accuse others, one to another frequently for any negative progress, and so on.
Regardless of the scenario. Regardless of the Assembly. Regardless of the genuine honesty of the people and caliber of their Citizenry. Without an existing, balanced team of internal Assembly peacemakers geared around providing Conflict Resolution will always - always struggle unnecessarily!
To all other American State Assemblies currently without:
Please consider placing immediate focus on the service role of State-elected Marshal-at-Arms & Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service.
If there be a learning curve for either, or both service roles, then this is another fine opportunity to exercise self-governance by seeking knowledge and comprehension on how these two service measures work together providing excellent results of resolving most all internal conflicts.
We encourage reaching out to other industry leaders, other successful State Assemblies, as well as the annals of history to find valuable information on how these two Assembly peacemakers work together, and how they are designed to function as a most cohesive unit.
