Not good on committees ? Blimey, you won't be having much fun. That's because the typical councillor of my experience loves committees and thinks wasting a lot of time deciding to do nothing just yet is part of the fun. (Like you, I'm not ideal for committees; my approach is if something needs a decision one person should be instantly delegated to make it alone and the rest should trust him or her and approve it without more ado later!)
Bit worried by your fighting for clients on principles. Is that the same as 'on a point of principle'? Are you hoping to breed from them? Clients who fight on a point of principle should definitely be bred from! LOL
