John, Sumit, and Eddie organized a trek last weekend under my guidance. I know John is the people person, so I assigned him as the trek's rear leader.
My observations during the trek:
- When the team arrived at regrouping points, he informally accounted for the people arriving from the rear before rejoining the larger group. He did this without being prompted by me.
- Whenever a participant needed a timeout, he let me know on a call without any nagging.
- When I asked the participants about John's behavior after the trek ended, everyone gave a thumbs up to bringing him along on our next trek, since he never got irritated with any participant and always cheered them up with jokes.
Sending a small tip in appreciation of his kind support. 😄
