I’m re-reading this book.
First back in 1994?!
Recently the past 2-3 days. I wanted to refresh my brain.
Truth is, I’ve flubbed up! I’ve recently alienated myself from a dear lady, who has given so much to the community I live in. By being clumsy at best (I’m too kind to myself) I was rude! Looking back now, I realize my friendship with her may be irretrievable!
After an event there is just as great a need to debrief as there is a need to plan before the event.
We had an event.
It’s my job as president to make sure stuff happens.
Delegating isn’t my strong suit.
I’m a “doer”… well some stuff went right – most stuff – but some stuff not.
So I commenced the debriefing, with all other board members present, and started with…
I’m am so ashamed now that I see it, now that I know it!
- I started with criticism
- I started with her, in a “crowded room”
It ended badly. One board member left, because he tried to save me from myself, and I would not listen. She would not let me speak… I gave up on the outside but was bewildered ever since. Only seeing my side, justifying myself, and …
So!
Read the book…
