Not realted to my art work but in my mind I have championed the leadership skills of my team lead at work. The guy is not perfect at all for sure but I have been working overtime on other teams and some of those we trained and were later placed elsewhere still remember the training and troubleshooting they learned with us. So I felt like a "Proud Parent" when one young person resolved an issue for his team and bring up my Team leader's name. I also found my team lead texts back and forth with some of these we trained even though they moved on to other teams and departments. Talk about influence though networking. It was not lst on me that this was Seth's 'People like us do things like this." playing out. So I'm sure with all the bantering of sharing fish stories and other things problem solving and troubleshooting advice is given. My problem is it is hard to say no to him. He asked me to come in on my day off to help him with a struggling team that needed support. I said yes as he used his connections to find a contractor to pour my concrete kiln pad at the pottery. He sent his father and uncle out and they did a job I would have waited at least another year for.
