II. Session

To be honest I've found the the second session much better than the oen with the executive coach (sorry, I can't remember his name).

I like the idea that we have all these different aspects/personalities in ourselves and can use them accordingly. We use them unconsciously, without paying much attention. Thus we follow parallel communication channels. It was very interesting to see how an inaspected reaction could change the whole conversation and somehow the balance of power.

I think this method is really simple, maybe too simple for real life. In a conflictual situation most of the times I react automatically, without thinking too much. After the discussion - when I calmed down - all the good answers, which I could have said come to my mind.

Generally I think that leaders are sometimes overmystified. According to the leadership theories goods leaders should be almost perfect, and honestly I don't think many leaders can meet all these expectations.
