>>2591 The gentleman who has brought Common Purpose to wider awareness, a Mr Brian Gerrish, is fairly batshit crazy and obsessional/cranky.
Common Purpose and similar money-wasting motivational schemes for social climbing government employees are real enough and are in my view a confidence trick played by practitioners of NLP and similar hocus-pocus on quangoes and councils who need to justify their annual budget.
They come out of the weekenders spouting absolute gibberish and feeling very confident. I suppose it is a kind of brainwashing at a stretch.
