We had a fantastic discussion tonight! In fact, we were so engrossed in the conversation that we could only talk about the first chapter of the book (Leadership is Influence) instead of the scheduled two chapters.
We discussed various issues and ideas leading off from the core principle of Leadership via influence. Ram, Suraj and Sanjay had some great ideas from their personal and professional lives and everyone had at least 1 or 2 take-way ideas that they plan to implement soon!!
We were all pretty excited to continue these meetings. If you want to be a part of the club and share and benefit from the brainstorming and sharing, be sure to attend our next meeting. More details to follow….
Happy reading!

Suraj and I brainstormed a little about how best to utilize our time together at the meeting. I realize how valuable the time is for everybody. So, we tossed around a couple ideas and agreed upon the following:

All of us can read the first two chapters from the book “Developing the Leader within” (believe me that won’t take more than 30 minutes. John Maxwell has a very easy, anecdotal style of writing so reading the first two chapters should be a breeze for anyone) and make notes about some of the ideas/topics that John Maxwell discussed in the book. We can then open up the forum for discussion at the meeting. All of us are pretty opinionated so I am sure we will have a great time at the meeting.

I like this idea but if anyone else has more ideas we can always discuss them as well.

Vishal Sanghvi won the free book that was raffled off at our first meeting. congrats Vishal!
We all hope he starts working <= 4-hours a week by the time he finishes reading the book
