The County is using our large meeting room today for a leadership conference. It is packed full of county middle managers, including most of my library system's branch managers. None of them look like they're having a lot of fun.
A regular library patron asking about this class found out it was about county leadership. They teasingly asked me "Why aren't you in that meeting."
"I only believe in leading from below." I commented.
The teasing continued, perhaps not as mean as it sounds. "Very far below." She said.
So I shrugged: "The only real leadership is the kind that no one can observe."

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
