Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership Institute CLASS 203

During the very first day -- in the few hours, it seemed to me -- we all became one unit, far more rapidly than any other class I've yet attended. We solidified that first week.

Facilitated by Dennis and Val, we coalesced into a united front that holds great promise. I feel we are all on the cusp of a great adventure.

We all had to read the Victor Frankl book Man's Search For Meaning -- and -- of course -- the Peter Drucker book -- to our reading chagrin.

This blog will, perhaps with some luck, serve as a documentation and an assistance to those who comprise SBSLI Class 203. You are all welcome to take part in the blog, comment, insist on photographs, respond to each post, et-cetera. Commenting requires a bit of diligence; I'm considering removing Blogger comments and adopting HaloScan for comments. Any input on this issue would be valued.

Our next books:

• Jonathan Livingston Seagull
• Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

This just in:

You've likely received the priority e-mail from Val regarding the Dave Carey book: "The Ways We Choose: Lessons From Life From a POW's Experience."

The e-mail indicated the book would not be hard to find; I found this not to be the case, at least in my neck of the woodpile.

Actually, I've found it remarkably tough to find. Amazon can ship it in 4 to 6 weeks -- just a hair too late for all of us. My local Tower Books is out; Borders is out; Barnes and Noble is out; Virgin is out.

I ordered it through Amazon; I'm hoping it'll arrive in time for me to read completely and then write a cogent evaluation.

I am wondering: would this be an acceptable class motto?

Addendum:

I have three additional posts in progress:

1. The impact of Marshall McLuhan;
2. Another about what I call the Trophy or Gamer Generation;
3. The consequences of the Older Worker as an employee.

Semper Gumby once again.
