I've been getting some 1:1 management training (oh don't ask) it's all very corporate and sincere. In the first session, he talked about leadership.

him: "Winston Churchill was a great leader, but there's something about him that most people don't know"
me: "That he was a massive racist and committed genocicde in India?"
him: ".... no that he had depression"
me: "oh yeah, everyone knows that"

@satsuma @sarahdal OK, I disagree with Churchill about MANY things but I could be convinced of this

@Ailbhe @satsuma @sarahdal dear God please no. Not unless you're going to be changing nearly everything else about typical corporate meetings as well, especially who else will be IN them with me.
