I'm an occasional reader and I need some perspective from other consultants.
My ED is having a Spring Regional training event. It is an all day event put on by directors in her down line. Her policy is that if a director choses not to participate and attend, then that director's downline cannot attend.
Well my director is not participating and hence I cannot attend. I know about the event since I have attended in the past and I thought it was a really helpful event. In addition, I'm good friends with one of the participating directors and she's told me all the details.
I don't know why my director isn't participating because she's not much of a director. She is instead hosting her own training event which will be a 1 hour evening training attended by two consultants at most. In my mind this is not comparable to the training and networking opportunity I could receive at the Regional event.
I'm really frustrated. I spoke w/ both my ED and Director today and both were adament that I cannot attend because it would be in violation of the director participation policy estalished by the ED. They were completely inflexible. I cannot believe their attitudes reflects the philosophies of other ED/directors. I mean - really - what is the harm in allowing me to receive training.
So getting to my question - for those of you under other leaders - does the above sound reasonable (because I think it is totally stupid). In addition - is there anywhere I could go for support on this? My ED is Home Office direct. (The other directors on her team, other than my good friend, were of no help to me).
I had a good relationship with my ED and director until today..........not so much now. I've been in the business for 3 years and am a former TPC achiever and incentive trip achiever. I want to walk away from this now because I cannot stand the lack of leadership.
If you have read this far.......thanks for reading.
