While this seems funny at first glance, the sad reality is that this does happen from time to time within the zoo industry, particularly in places where the management of a zoo or safari park is overseen by people with poor to no management skills. These zoos or safari parks will often employed staff with little to no experience because they are cheaper than experienced staff or because they are friends or relatives of those doing the employing. If we in the zoo industry wish to continue moving ahead and be taken seriously as a professional industry, then all should shun this type of behavior. Hiring inexperienced staff to care for the collection or to oversee the daily management of the park because they are a cheaper alternative to the more experienced professionals within our industry in an attempt to save a few dollars, is often the mistake made by poor managers and is a sure fire recipe for disaster. The saying "you get what you pay for" is definitely true in the case of your park. If the staff caring for the collection, guiding, or management only consider their position as just a job and have no passion for what they do, then how can anyone except them to do their job to a high level and to have any loyalty to your zoo or safari park. timhusband2005@gmail.com

Recently I was told by a friend that being a zoo consultant must be an exciting and rewarding career. The truth is there are many pros and cons of being a zoo consultant.   While it can, at times offer high salaries, diverse project work, and the potential for career advancement, it does also require long hours, frequent travel, high stress levels and even at times chasing up payments for work done. I have found over the years that as a zoo consultant, I am often hired by companies or zoos to solve complex problems or to bring in specialized expertise that is lacking internally. This means that there is a high level of expectation from clients for me as a consultant to deliver results. Projects can be cancelled or postponed at the last minute, and new assignments may require immediate attention, leading to inconsistent workloads. Clients may expect me to provide solutions quickly and effectively, which can place a significant amount of pressure on me as an individual. Furthermore, as a zoo consultant you will always find that your work is always under scrutiny and there is little room for error. The nature of the work can also change abruptly depending on the client’s needs, requiring me to constantly adapt. While all this can provide a certain level of excitement and challenge, it also requires a high level of adaptability and stress management. I have at times found myself in a precarious position when it comes to advising zoos or safari parks on their management teams skills. There can be a fine line between providing honest professional advice and just telling them what they want to hear. I believe in these situations, a consultant must balance their professional obligations to provide the best advice for the park and the staff working there, with their personal ethical principles. Being honest in this type of situation, although always being the best way to go for the park involved can at times be a problem when you point out that certain people are not suitable for the position they fill.   timhusband2005@gmail.com ♻️ Repost if this resonates with you.

One of the saddest things I have seen was when the majority of ground staff at a safari park had no trust or respect in their Director / Operations Manager and the management staff that person had working under them. There was a few reasons for this, one being because of the politics this individual continually played within the management team in their attempt to grasp power. The other reason was because everyone in the park knew that this person was given the position not because they had anu experience or skills in management (in fact they had never been in any management position before) but because of who they were related to. This became more evident very quickly as mistake after mistake kept happening under this person watch, with a higher-than-normal staff turnover. The saddest thing to see was the total waste of a new safari park with so many opportunities to stand out in the region, being lost because of poor management.   It was pointed out that there was a problem with the total lack of professionalism, and opportunities were offered many times to help train this person, but unfortunately because of pride or just blatant stupidity these offers were turned down over and over again by the operations manager. The result was that a park that had so much potential quickly lost many of its good staff and very quickly became a joke in the region among other zoos and businesses. But all is not lost for this park, just because of one person's lack of understanding of what is needed to run a successful zoo or safari park. To turn things around it would need some hard decisions to be made and changes in management that would upset those that feel they are above reproach. But I believe that every parks problems can be solved if those running the park or those that own the park are open to change and direction. It naturally won't happen overnight as years of mismanagement and the loss of trust in the management team will take time to repair, but over time it would happen and the parks credibility and reputation within the zoo industry and with the public would return. timhusband2005@gmail.com
