i feel like a million bucks.
we just had a 4 hour offsite workshop with my team.
i created an outline, and we treated each topic as something to brainstorm together, rather than me lecturing on it. i asked questions and the team collaboratively explored the answers and spinoff questions.
i wrote those topics on a flip chart – one on each page, and everyone had markers that they wrote down their contributions on each topic. those are our meeting notes.
i am so blown away by the session, how much came out of it, how their collective knowledge plays out and spins off each other. its humbling to see how smart, creative, and open these guys can be when asked to contribute, show initiative, and be part of the solution.
today, i feel like a rockstar who manages rockstars 🙂 better yet, rockstars who are becoming self-aware of what they are great at and what their challenges are – and they are excited about solving those challenges.
man. how awesome is that?
I’m so glad you’re loving the new job. Selfishly and professionally, I’m missing you terribly at work. You left us in good hands, but I sure do miss yours! Hmm, why did that sound naughty? 🙂
it’s usually better when you sound naughty. and we all know my hands please you! i miss you too. austin shows me stuff from time to time and i wish i had more time and i miss all the fun stuff we create. hang in there – i can’t wait to hear how this next set of stuff goes for you guys!
