This exercise will be the first of a series of working
lessons. They are intended to provide insight on what “fluid management”
is and how it can be successfully applied to your PAG and its mission.
Fluid management, for those who are not familiar with
the term, is based upon the use of one another’s talents and abilities
toward a common goal. My initial purpose is to move you through a full
appreciation of what “fluid management” is all about.
Our first exercise is a simple one that many of you have
probably already done. Start by asking each individual in the PAG group
to list what she/he sees as her/his talents and abilities. The list should
contain no less than three, and no more than ten items. Assemble the group
and compare each person’s list to those of the others. Finally, ask the
PAG members how they feel their talents and abilities intermesh. Discuss
how these talents and abilities can contribute to the goals of your PAG.
