While reading the book "Strengths based Leadership" which builds on the StrengthsFinder assessment, I came across this very intriguing and applicable section titled "What strong teams have in common".  The topic is very close to my heart, so I had to blog about it and obviously create a mindmap!

Mind Map: What strong teams have in common?

Here’s the link: Chapter 9 : Self-Discipline

I just finished reading the next chapter titled “Developing your most appreciable asset: People” from our book.  I have to say I am pretty pumped up:)  This is one of the biggest chapters in the book and obviously resulted in the largest mind-map so far!  There are a lot of generalizations and possible hot topics in this chapter and personally this topic is very close to my heart.  Honestly, if you missed all the previous meetings and even if you cannot make it to the remaining 3 meetings (for this book), I highly recommend joining us tomorrow.  We can have an explosive conversation on this topic…

Hope to see you all tomorrow.

Here’s a link to the mind-map: Chapter 7: People

In this chapter Mr. Gardner focuses mostly on respecting people from other cultures and backgrounds; which is critical, again in a global workplace.  Mr. Gardner focuses on the education of respect right from infancy to adulthood.

I probably didn’t capture the entire chapter into the MindMap because there is a lot of detail around specific examples; so you might be better off reading the chapter anyway.

But just to give you a head-start on the topic, here’s the link to the MindMap: MindMap for the Respectful Mind

The third in the series of the “Five Minds for the Future” MindMaps is here!

Although I want to be more on the creative side, I end up being the synthesizing kind most of the time; not a bad outcome, but I strongly believe that truly innovative and revolutionary changes emerge from a creative mind only!  So, I am hoping I can stretch my creating mind as I reach my mid-30s

Hopefully this chapter and the MindMap can help me and other people in the same boat. 

Anyway, here is the link to the MindMap: MindMap for the Creating Mind

The second in the series of the “Five Minds for the Future” MindMaps is here!

Check out synthesizing mind, which I believe is one of the most important in the 21st century of globalization and limitless information!

I finished reading the next chapter in our book couple nights ago and was able to create the mind-map. The chapter on “Attitude” is relatively small and straight-forward.

Hope to see you all on the 6th.

Here’s a link to the mind-map: MindMap for chapter 6, “Attitude”

I visited another local book club meeting Thursday night to pick up some ideas for our own club and got hooked to the book they were discussing that night -

I got so immersed in the book (a little too intellectual for my taste, I must say) that I read 60% of the book overnight and started compiling mindmaps for each of the five minds that Howard describes.

Here’s the first mindmap of the series: The Disciplined Mind. Enjoy!
