Better than Cheese: Leadership Reaction Course

This is another post that was back dated to reflect when the event took place.

Leadership Reaction Course (LRC) is a great teambuilding event we do in the summer with LFM. We take a bus to Ft. Devins and use their course to solve problems as a team (we were broken up into teams of 6).

Our team moved from station to station solving different problems. Problems often involved getting people and or supplies from point a to point b with a limited amount of resources.

This required the team to crawl, slide, and jump across a number of obstacles.

Here I am spotting Amy to make sure she does not fall. She did not need any help.

Each team member took a turn being the leader of our group to practice their leadership skills and at the end of each obstacle we reflected on our work as a team and on the leaders performance.

In the end we had fun and got to practice our leadership and team-work skills while reflecting on those skills (reflection IS extremely important).
