At the number one spot on our list is something that we heard before Ethan ever got here to Baltimore, he is vindictive. Sure enough, it turned out to be true. This guy will make sure you are burned if he goes after you. The sad thing is he will go after you for some of the most childish things imaginable – such as just not liking him personally or disliking one of his ideas.
Ethan was very careful his first year in Baltimore. There was no big staff or volunteer committee changes. All bets were off at the start of his second year. The first people he when after were those who did not support him during his first year.
He’ll play this game of getting back at people while at the same time establishing his total control over the council. To gain total control he starts with the professional staff. Moving people around, changing critical tasks, placing pressure on supervisors to understand who plans to put up a fight and who is willing to join Team Ethan. Once the professionals are in-line he can go after the chairs of the council committees. He will start with the committees that are most important to him – anything that can communicate the dual brands of Scouting and Ethan. Scouting for Food will be an easy target. Council activities will be at the top of the list (he has to control the people running the coming Ethan Shows). Camping and the OA will be in the top five to have Team Ethan members at their helm.
Be on guard, don’t think Ethan wouldn’t remember you once the honeymoon period is over, because he will and he is one vindictive man.
