GloriaG,
I too was a group leader in the seminar. I didn't see it as a form of control. I saw it as trying to show people the benefit of committing to your word. Saying sorry doesn't get back the time lost waiting for someone to call in or the lost benefit from having been on time. It was an exercise that helps me put more effort into being on time and honoring my word in all faces of my life.
Do you see you benefit of that, too? On one hand, it can look like a form of control; on the other hand, can't it be a possibly helpful learning experience?
