There are Leaders and there are Followers (in Powerpoint)

I had an interesting experience yesterday. My church did a one day version of the "Good $ense" seminar from Willow Creek. We had several members of a financial leadership team speak. Two of these changed the profided powerpoint slides. That's not an issue. I just changed my master presentation and all was well. During one of the sessions, one of the leaders began to speak. I followed where he was going and though he had added slides, he seemed to skip them all. During one of the individual activities, he had me advance to the "next" slide to see where he was. This was after he'd noticed that he'd skipped slides, so I knew to go back and hit one of his slides. This was toward the end of the section. Then it hit me. He was a Powerpoint follower. Everyone else was a Powerpoint leader. Everyone else was going a certain place and expected the slides to keep up. He needed the slides to help him see where he should go. I wish I'd known, but I didn't. We were each trying to follow the other and at the end, neither of us ended where we could have. People are different. Running media for different people doing the same presentations will often yield different results. Realize there's nothing wrong with that, but knowing what kind of person you're dealing with will help you be your best. Paul
