Is Learning Leadership Worthwhile?

Our good man California Gibb was reading one time. He took as his personal assignment to really understand more fully an article from a JAIMS catalogue (Japanese American Institute of Management Science) 1989/90 edition p. 16. It appears to have been written by Haruko Ozeki, Age 25, LL.B. Sophia University. She said something like how moving back to Japan from Hawaii made her appreciate her five months of Hawaii schooling. She noted how her practice of English and American management helped her and prodded her toward international management and legal affairs.

She indicated that it was even more than that. She got to know many people and she got some real treasures out of the experience, which she figured would always enrich her life. Among her treasures gotten were also a scuba-diving certificate and singing the Messiah as a member of the Honolulu Symphony Chorus. She thanks JAIMS for doing this for her with an exclamation point at the end of the sentence.

NOW you see if California Gibb had been there he would have been able to see where the expert practice of management science can actually be complimented by STAY LOOSE leadership and how it can get you to stay calm. The thing to do is get lined up with a Scuba-diving school first off. Do it sooner not later just as soon as you arrive at the place. Take all the courses that they have. Keep taking the courses. Go again and again into the pool in your gear and have your picture taken and then put the caption underneath that says “California Gibb leads out in Scuba leadership and stays darn loose while hard at it.” And then take some more courses in Scuba diving. On the side you could laminate some chorale sheet music in waterproof see-through stuff and take it underwater just to see if you could make any improvement at all singing those serious songs three feet down. With practice you can, trust me, because I have pondered the whole question of STAY LOOSE. Doing it this way you’ll stay away from stuffy classrooms and learn a lot about SL leadership concurrently with a tank on your back. It’s a loose way of becoming a leader while picking up extra skill in submerged singing. You’ll never regret it and it’s all transferable skill.
