Crowned with Love

Back at university for a second subject. Executive Leadership this time. I don't think I'm going to enjoy this. The lecturer annoys me and, oh dear, the text book. It's a really odd combination of academic studies combined with management self-help. We are all leaders, apparently, even those of us who are also followers. Get your head round that.

I don't enjoy role plays, but I did like the suggested role play in the introductory chapter. It is the 1980s, it says. One person in the group is Steve Jobs and the others are the board members of Apple who sacked him. Remember that Jobs was famed for his quick temper and ego. I'm not quite sure what recreating that would teach anyone about modern leadership, but I'm sure the person playing Jobs would have fun.
