Walking the Walk...

Is cudos important as a manager?

I do believe that as a manager, response is more positive when you can demonstrate that you've 'walked the walk'. I have taught for 12 years; 5 of these have been non-teaching management work.

Should managers teach? Yes, I do believe that they should.

I taught in Art and design and feel that it's important to show students that I can 'walk the walk' in terms of teaching too... whilst I believe that teaching is about teaching to learn, the response is SO much more positive when one can show that they've walked the walk too...

It's been so long since I've done any of my own work and I really need to find the time to do so again. Here is an example of the relief printmaking that I used to do (more to come; lots in the loft) and I really feel I ought to do more. Never one for suicide prints (where you do a run of base colour, then cut into it and layer the next colour, so on and so forth), if I ever used colour, I made multiple prints and registered in the most careful way. However, if there were little bits of uneven line-up, I liked it. It added to the quality as far as I was concerned. Now, I'll need to get back into this...
