CSU Staff and Faculty,
We are starting a book club for those who have been involved in the Eye of the Tiger Training. There have been over 50 in attendance and so we can keep the motivation and leadership training ongoing. Every month there is a new book on some type of Leadership reading that I choose.
I am keeping the books small in reading so that you can complete them. The holidays are coming up and this will keep you on track and help motivate you to start the new year off with a bang! Our last training was based on “Don’t just come to work and exist, but find your purpose and explode with leadership! In saying this, we have had such an overwhelming excitement and response with 55 already in the club would like to open it up to everyone here at CSU.
Many have asked that did not come to the training and would like to be a part. The first book is $8. You can email Brittany Berry at brittany.berry@columbiasouthern.edu to be put on a waiting list. We do have a limited amount of books coming in next week. I am so excited!!!
CSU is #1 because of YOU!

I am so excited about this. :)
"Law of the Lid" is absolutely true. Isn't it exciting to find out how far your leadership will take you. Take off! Soar to your potential and beyond.
Maxwell says each of us will influence at least 10,000 people in our lifetime. Can you imagine the choices you have to make each day with so many watching? Let's positively influence them all!
On page 17 it states that Leadership is developed daily, not in a day and no matter where you are starting from you can get better. This is so true and if daily we think about what we can do to improve each day and then do it we will notice the difference, whether it be 1month from now, 1 year from now, or 10 years from now. I am excited to start doing this in my life and see the changes. This book has so many inspirational stories as well. I am so fired up about this book.
I recently read a quote in one of John Maxwell's books that stated (basically)over the next five years, the things that will influence the greatest change in an individual are the books he reads and the people he surrounds himself with. How great is it to be surrounded by so many incredibly dedicated people and to be involved with an organization that demonstrates daily the commitment to "growing leaders"?! We truly are a part of something special here!
Sometimes determining the highest priority is very easy--sometimes it's difficult. It's not always clear what the highest priority should be. John Maxwell illustrates well a method for determining priorities on page 34 with the four categories. The trick is in determining which priority(ies) fit into each category.
Reading this is a good reminder to evaluate the daily tasks and try and place the appropriate priority on each. It's also a good reminder to include our FULL day and not just our work day.
This is really good stuff!
Come on CSU Leaders, let's blog about what you're reading and learning. A good way to make sure you remember something new is to write it down. So come on, blog about it!
