<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=+4><B>INK: Chamber boss
Kimmell ready to lead with Lee</B></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman"
color=#000000 size=+2><BR><I>Vera White</I><BR>The INKster has wanted to
believe during the past year or so that Latah County Commissioner/ Moscow
Chamber of Commerce Executive Director/Christ Church member Paul Kimmell
refused to let his personal beliefs figure into business either at the
courthouse or the chamber office.<BR><BR>But she was speechless when she
received a call last week from an irate chamber member expressing dismay with
Kimmell's choice of leadership materials used at the Aug. 5 annual board
retreat in Gritman Medical Center's conference room. For his 1:30 p.m.
leadership power point presentation, Kimmell chose to use Confederate General
Robert E. Lee as the world's greatest example of a leader among
men.<BR><BR>The INKster was forwarded a copy of the 17-page "Robert E. Lee on
Leadership." In addition to numerous historic photos, the back page proudly
displayed the Confederate flag. Although it came as no surprise since Christ
Church leaders seemingly worship Lee along with God, the INKster didn't know
whether to laugh or cry.<BR><BR>"Some chamber members were appalled when they
found out about this retreat," noted one of the INKster's sources. "But under
a new ruling, only board members were invited."<BR><BR>"Understanding and
Applying the Leadership Principles of General Robert E. Lee" describes Lee as
a leader for all ages who "remade a rag-tag bunch of men into one of the most
impressive fighting forces history has ever known." Further, "as a business
man, he took a debt-ridden Virginia plantation and streamlined its operations;
and as a teacher who turned a backwater college into a prestigious
university."<BR><BR>Of course the INKster wasn't there, but she wonders if Lee
might have had an edge with local government officials who were able to reduce
the taxes on the plantation. No doubt there was cheap labor available. And
she's curious as to whether Kimmell used the University of Idaho or New St.
Andrews College as an example for the "backwater college."<BR><BR>Under the
section marked "Leadership By Example," Kimmell notes that "part of Lee's
strength was his supreme confidence, tied to both his religious convictions
and that he had unsparingly done his duty to achieve the goals set before
him."<BR><BR>Be that as it may, the INKster wonders how the Robert E. Lee
Method of Leadership would play out with other chambers in the region. Throw
in the Confederate flag and she imagines Moscow will rightfully find itself a
laughingstock.<BR><BR>Interestingly, one of the items on the retreat agenda
was a roundtable discussion on "Marketing Moscow to Seniors." The INKster
imagines she wouldn't be the only old person offended by a group of the town's
leading business people paying homage to the Confederacy.</FONT></DIV>
