So there I was on Sunday moaning about public sector training jollies, what with two UK HR staff off on an ‘equine leadership session’.
Today though I may have to eat my hat - it appears there’s genuine logic in undertaking training in a horsey environment.
Just look at the fine folks at Cowboy Leaders, 50 miles west of Salt Lake City, Utah, who have launched an Anti-Tweet Business Retreat for executives strung out on information overload, looking for a way to improve their leadership skills:
The American West was shaped by cowboys. Cowboys are tough, hard-working, say-it-like-it-is people. They understand the value of hard work and see everything through to completion.
To get work done the cowboy must trust his ability to build strong, working relationships with his horses and his fellow cowboys. We will teach you the tools of the trade and help you understand how this will make you a better leader.
With courses titled Cowboy Up & Lead, Saddle Up for Success and Ride For the Brand I want to be sent on some management training, cowboy style.
And when they say ‘No tweeting allowed’ at the ranch, they mean it - just watch the video to see technophobe Deuce in action:
