I think you do yourself and the team a great disservice with the second
part of this comment.
I think that the flurry of emails generated on this topic of leadership
is evidence that this is not a simple issue and that great philosophical
gaps exist in methodology.
I think that you misunderstand and under appreciate the respect the team
has for your contributions, though personally, I think religion is not
helping your argument and it puts me off.
I think that you have a fundamental obstacle to overcome, one where you
understand that "If you do unto others as you would like done to you."
and you build contributions built on that, you will be listened to,
evaluated, commented upon and respected. Your initial FCM submission was
a great example of this. I strongly urge you to take into account the
feedback you received and publish a new draft. I personally will commit
to reading it and commenting upon it, but you should realise that there
is no requirement for me, or any other team member to do so.
It was with the foreknowledge that the discussion we are having today,
or rather, since the meeting, that I wrote during the meeting these words:
[TOPIC] Team Structure
Onto the Team Structure. This item is quite large and I've left it
until now because we needed to understand a little about who we are
and what we do.
In order to determine the structure, we have several proposals that
include a number of roles and titles.
While for some that provides a handy reference, others feel that
such things impose too much of a Chiefs and Indians division.
Comments?
I confess that I underestimated the level of passion the various
proponents brought to the discussion.
