Leadership games..

It seems like it is again, a time for dumb heros, of victims heroics, of hot-air inspiring speeches, of heart-stirring warcries and of leaders.

Every good company needs good leadership in order to grow (as in, grow in a sensible way. company merges, dumb takeovers, stupid hirings don't count), and in the effort to have more people leading the dumb masses, my company started leadership training.

The first steps of leadership training apparently involves what is written at the delphi: "Know Thyself". The participants are required to fill in a multiple-choice questionaire that taxes the limits of intelligence, patience and privacy.

I'm not sure, but afaik, great leaders tend to result in great results. Looking in history, those who have achieved much (attila the hun, al capone, J. Edgar Hoover comes to mind) seems to have stood out. and I betcha that they didn't need to fill out any questionaire!
