:ommunications, staff management, organization, negotiation, and accounting, and promoting proficiency in many of the positions in the Resort. While it would have been best to hire a manager with experience working with Indigenous communities, the TMS determined that this would be difficult; they would at least have to hire someone who was experienced and who was open to learning about Tla'amin culture. The Resort needed to be run in a way that respected Tla'arnin values: a profound respect for nature and a :lesire to create a sustainable refuge in this remote coastal community. Of course, the new general manager would also have to be willing to move to a small community, where the smallest detail of their life might 3e interesting to others. With support from the senior management team, George would provide the new general manager with the time and support necessary to learn the ways of the Tla'amin Nation. The TMS management team appreciated the way George had kept them informed and up to date and had effectively managed senior relationships and internal politics. George was considering several options for recruiting the general manager. First, he could employ a Resort management agency, which would send skilled general managers on an as-needed basis and could do so without delay. These managers would always be well trained and very experienced, but the Tla'ainin leadership had done this in the past and found that such managers were impatient and had a very corporate mindset; they had not been sufficiently willing to learn Tla'amin ways and culture. Perhaps George could find a different company that might send people who were more sensitive. Second, George could promote a Tla*amin person already working at the Resort and could offer them training and mentoring to build their :apacity and leadership skills. This would take considerable time and effort, since there was not currently someone who was almost ready; however, such a person would be an excellent fit and would have the respect of the rest of the staff. Third, he could retain a recruiter, who would spend considerable time looking for the right person. A recruiter could likely identify someone with good experience and the right personalityprobably more quickly than George could himselfbut this person probably would not have experience working in an Indigenous community. Finally, George could do the recruiting himself, using word-of-mouth and online advertising platforms such as Linkedln. This would certainly lead him to someone with the right experience, who would fit in well and be a good cultural fit with the community Jut George still was not sure he would nd someone with experience working in an Indigenous community
