Hi Izhar,
As regards the activity and the way in which it integrated into the entire management workshop – many of the group members noted the second day (the day of your activity) as the turning point and its significant contribution both in teambuilding and the feeling of capability of the team whereby it would be able to fulfil an assignment and lead the entire organization forward even without the departing CEO and founder.
An additional feedback which came up very strongly in the analysis following the workshop was your ability to be with us from a place that allows togetherness and excitement, to differentiate from the consultant in the previous workshop who gave the feeling that he was in competition with us and against us.
And I, in a conversation with Daphna after the workshop, told her about the issue that I had about your decision not to carry out at the end of the day the exercise dealing with conflict, even if it was “light” conflict. I didn’t feel that the exercise was lacking, but I knew that it should have been there, and I thought about your decision not to execute it. At the end of the day, after several days of thinking and at a distance from the workshop, even if we didn’t put it there explicitly, it was clear to me from the entire process that what we needed was confirmation of our abilities as a group, to continue and move the organization forward together, something new that would be created in the existing circumstances – and this objective was achieved by means of the workshop with you, whether it was there explicitly and/or you understood it from the groundwork conversation and/or in the field with us, and for that, your ability to navigate and correlate, your sensitivity about us and our needs – thank you very much.
