"Not sure if this qualifies as a story or not, it may move to a new section on rituals or ceremonies. It however does give an outsider's immediate view of the leadership classes and it mildly entertaining. A friend of mine, a German guy, has walked by our classes many times. He has stopped and looked in on the class while walking by and observed us sitting in our squared class structure. To him the class structure looks extremely out of place and he is uncertain how people could learn in such a strange environment, that does not look like a business class. To him, an outsider, it is different and whenever he sees people sitting in this way, even in a small team meeting he thinks of the leadership classes I take and laughs because he says he would not feel comfortable learning in such a way.

So just witnessing our class structure is different enough to make people take notice.
