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.
