May ELP Meeting: Pete’s Class



May's ELP Class took place in the Sewell Boardroom at the Dallas Arboretum (currently showcasing the amazing Chihuly exhibit which we all were able to enjoy after class).

Pete continued his discussion on the Evergreen Project.  We also discussed 16 ways an individual can crash and burn professionally.  A few examples include conflict avoidance and over-competitiveness.  He also reviewed an article by John Gardner (former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare) on leadership.  This article is very timely in that this is an election year.  Toward the end of the meeting, Pete asked that we start thinking about our own leadership theory, in regards to values, influence, etc.  We will discuss more in depth during the June meeting.
