Strategy: January 2008 Archives
Well, it happened - My "brown nosing" session with Roy Crowne happened yesterday, and all in all it went pretty well. Frustratingly, he seemed to have some kind of precognition of the questions I was going to ask, as he generally started answering them (in a very in-depth way) before I'd even finished each question.
I actually recorded the audio of the whole thing, and I was sorely tempted to upload it to this site, as it is actually highly stimulating, but although he gave me permission to record our time, I never actually asked him whether I could make it public, so I guess I probably shouldn't. However, if you really want to hear what he had to say (and if you suggested a question that I should ask, there will be an answer there somewhere), then either drop me an email begging for a copy, or hold on a few days and check back as I need to write up the whole thing as a character study for MLS anyway.
For now, I'll leave you with what I consider to be the best answer to a question that he gave...
Q: Being the leader of a big organisation like YFC, how do you avoid switching into "leader" mode in you personal & social life?
A: I don't!! I'm a leader all the time - that's who I am - it annoys my family a lot, but that's me!!
Absolute Genius!!
