Leadership

I write this from the confines of my bed where i am doubled up with stomach cramps, it appears to be food poisoning, from a dodgy dip supplied from Dominos Pizza which I had last night. current time between toilet rushes is 15 minutes, and reducing I am glad to say.

I know I've been quiet the last few days but I have been on a Leadserhip Skills course in deepest Darkest Dorset. It was pretty intensive didn't get a chance to leave the hotel for the 3 days of the course, infact several others on teh course seemed to never make it to their rooms; being permanent fixtures at the bar.

The course involved us volunteering to be the team leader at some stage of the 3 days for particular tasks..guess who volunteered for the biggest and most complicated one to run {puts up hand}, 9 seperate tasks to be completed by 12 people in fluid sub-teams in under 1 hour; although we didn't complete the tasks (6/9) what we did was considered to be a sucess and I got very good feedback from the reat of the group and the trainers for my leadership style and skill...which was nice

Oooops.....off to the toilet again.....

Put a complaint in to Dominos - you might get a free pizza? ;-)
Probably not what you want to think about between loo visits huh?
Take Care

I've always hated those forced leadership/team building sessions. Seem to be more for the amusement of the organizers than the growth of the participants. Yes, I am a little bitter! But, glad it went well for you and hope you're feeling better.

Ah, leadership. Some are born into it. Others, including some of the morons for whom I used to work, should have had their leadership pins taken away at an early age.

Safe travel, and feel better soon!
