Everything You Need to Know - Week of April 7 (Apr 07, 2019)

April 7, 2019

Yo, Adrienne!

Meeting Notes from April 4

Speaker: Jim Ishoy

Topic: The Myths of Leadership

Jim brought us cogent insights leaned from many years practicing and teaching leadership. Among them:

- Invest 10% of your time and money on yourself

- Take responsibility for your relationships

- People quit people, not companies

- The toughest person to lead is always yourself: be patient!

- Leadership is about bringing people up with you

- Choose, today, the legacy you want to leave to others

If you aren't at our RSR meeting, you are missing out on fellowship, opportunity and information!!
