April 2015 - Architectural Leadership

Our April session for 2015 AIA Emerging Leaders Program was held at The Trinity Trust offices in the Design District on the 17^th of the month. 

Once the panel discussions started, there were discussions ranging from personal leadership style to fashion accessories to the future of Dallas.  Our distinguished panelists, Linda McMahon with TREC, Bob Meckfessel with DSGN, and Rick del Monte with Beck shared their viewpoints, anecdotes, wit and wisdom in a series of pre-arranged and spontaneous questions.  (Thanks again Linda, Bob & Rick – We really enjoyed all of your insights!)

 After a quick break, the next portion of our session hosted by Pete dealt with discussions on the Adaptor-Innovator spectrum.  Assessments were taken and copious amounts of simple addition rendered us into three score groupings.  Soon after we found ourselves under Pete’s conductor-like control; arranged and re-arranged based on our scores in the main lobby space of The Trinity Trust.  It was an interesting change of pace to work in some movement into the session since the panelist discussions had been so intense and cerebral.  

 

 

Nearing the end of our time and feeling slightly dizzy from all of the arranging, we ended our session with a few well deserved beverages on the patio at Meddlesome Moth conveniently located a few blocks away.
