I’ll bite…Teachable moment: How do we as group look at this action item? How does a leader lead it?
Leading is not a committee activity, nor a dictatorship. All of you here are leaders. As our first teachable moment, how do you lead it? Leading is not always what it seems.
I’m a framework kinda guy. I like to gather inputs, variables and break them down into logical blocks in order to obtain some goal or outcome.
For groups I’m leading on a trail, typically I like to come out of the gate with a solid agenda and when we expect to be at lunch, back to camp and significant items in between.
For the pre-run it might look something like this.
Thursday night, get ur ass within 1hr of Moab.
Friday morning at 9am meet at the diner for a rough out of the trails that need to be run or the skills we’re looking to work on.
9-10am we’ll devise a plan and make sure teachers have students. If you need to just run a trail to familiarize yourself with it. Share your in/out time and route, Get’r done and meet us for a hotwash and beers. If you’re not confident to go alone, ask for a buddy.
6pm camp fire and hotwash at xyz spot. - further skill development be here or be shunned
8:00p set meet up info for Saturday morning trail/skills meetings.
9p.

Wash repeat.
If someone comes from left field - picky people don’t get to choose. Better to disappoint one than hold the whole group back.
Grand Hotwash Sunday morning chat B’s and C’s
If the agenda works for 80% of folks then you’re golden. If there are legitimate concerns or special circumstances, handle them 1 on 1
