About
Us
The
Evolution of the Master/slave Several years ago a small group of Masters joined together to discuss issues of common interest. From
our discussions there arose a conviction that, despite our personal diversity
in how we organized our own Policies and Procedures, there was much about
our journeys as Masters that we could identify as being held in common. The
notion of identifying a set of Milestones common to most Masters began
to take hold of us. We hoped that
if such Milestones could be identified they would to be a useful to tool
for both experienced and novice Masters. Other
Masters with whom we discussed our efforts asked to be kept apprised of
our progress. As
we conferred we came to feel there was a need to re-invigorate the notion
of peer recognition, Master to Master, of individual accomplishments. We
felt there was a need to offer educational opportunities specifically
linked to the identified Milestones. The
answer was, as it so often is, if not us, then who?
Thus was born the Master/slave Although
our initial focus has been on the development of tools; recognition; and
support and education for Masters, we felt that there was a similar need
for slaves and we hope to expand our offerings to include them in the
near future. Our joint efforts have so far produced the first such tool: The Milestones for Masters Self-Assessment Grid It is understood by us all that the Milestones are NOT posited as a universally applicable, one-size fits all roadmap for all Masters. For some it might prove useful and for those it is understood that they will address the Milestones in the order that makes sense to them within the context of their individual journeys. We know that of those Masters who decide to use the tool, some will address all the Milestones and some will address only those they deem relevant to their journey. It is also clear that Masters will dedicate greater effort to those Milestones that they find to be pertinent to their development and put little or no effort into others. Filling out the Grid is private and personal and remains that way unless the Master wishes to make the results known. With
these cautionary notes in mind this
tool can be downloaded as a
Right click to download and save to your computer. The feedback we get in
the form of completed grids So, we ask that if you
fill out the grid,
