take me to your leader

Tomorrow morning, at the aburd hour of 5am, I get on a bus with a couple of dozen of my workmates and head to a rather nice-looking resort for a 3-day "management and leadership training retreat" (I do have a bit of managerial responsibility, though "leadership" is a bit rich). I've NEVER been on one of these things before. As long as I'm not swamped with work, I quite enjoy official reasons to slip away from the grinding tedium. The program for this one looks interesting and useful -- management in a cross-cultural context / Asian vs Western management styles, decision making, etc (and god knows I need decision-making skills). One can only hope that this is all a ruse, and all we're really going to do is some sort of lame obstacle course wearing shit-looking helmets and the "trust" game, where someone closes their eyes and fall backwards into the arms of their colleagues.
