'Quamplurimi et quam aptissimi" (As many as possible of the very best)

The handsome SS signage
We would do most of the team building activities here. The beautiful
scenery reflects the other beauty of
Cebu
This post feels and thinks that every leadership subject must have practical leadership games exercises, outside the campus. Team building activities, when well planned and executed can achieve any or all of the following:
1. communication skills and processes
2. teamwork and bonding
3. problem solving skills
4. strategizing
And many leaders, even though they have become jaded corporate leaders/managers have been energized by team, building, and even those who have presided over team building activities. Each team building go through different direction because of different sites, participants and structures. And this team building was no exception
Thus after egging on the volunteers (by asking initially who have experience in teambuilding) our team building gurus Bryan Peter Evangelista an AVP Sales Director and formerly a training manager at PruLife, and Genevieve (a member of millionaires club in IL) came out with a plan in ppt which they submitted 3 days before last Saturday and which revolve around the 4 pillars of leadership. I had to extend my stay in Cebu because they say it may extend up to 8 o clock in the evening of Saturday
Chronology of events:
The first one to arrive, the early bird was of course, Leader Bryan, followed by Leader Dovie. A relative or a friend owns the venue. I was fetched by Leader Atty Glym from the hotel with Judge Jerry as the driver (thanks po) at 7:00 We arrived almost 8:00 Leader Andre fetched leader Maricel and Isi from the ports. The others arrived at about 8 and later thereabouts.
