Re: Officially cancelled.....
James,
Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully my comments add some color and insight from time to time. And I apprecaite folks understanding that while I can and will share what I can when I can, there are some things I simply cannot disclose or feel comfortable speculating on.
I'm not aware of RARA conducting a formal non-linear design-think session, but it's possible they have in the past. You are correct about RARA having certain types of round-table discussions with both internal and some external participants. As you are no doubt aware, often times those types of sessions result in a group-think mentality where the outcome can be predetermined and consuming ones own dog food. I spent 6 years facilitating 3-week long leadership training seminars for the USPS, including the Ken Blanchard "One Minute Manager" type philosophies. Try teaching old, gray-haired postmasters who are 2 years from retirement the "new and improved" leadership process. Good luck with that...
I am in the process of formulating my annual "After Action Report' (something I do for all my shows), which will be quite different this year! I intend to proffer up several items for discussion and, as great minds think alike, I intend to put something like this forward to the Board.
Thanks again for your input and kind words, James. Much appreciated.
