A few months ago, I began facilitating a pretty cool series called "Innovate to Elevate" inspired by another series that my mentor Scott Woodard had kicked off. Over the past few months, myself and a group of like-minded folks involved with FedGov over at Comcast have been getting together every week to read through and discuss "What Got You Here Won't Get You There" by Marshall Goldsmith. I limited the reading to ~25 pages a week for a couple reasons: 1: By digesting small sections at a time, we were able to actively instill what we learned from each section of the book in our everyday work and personal lives. 2: I wanted to fit the series into 13 weeks - this may ring a bell for a lot of you as it's the same length of time as USMC boot camp. The Marine Corps takes 13 weeks to transform regular civilians into battle-ready warfighters. How are you working to change your teams in the corporate environment into an elite group who is ready for anything the business throws at them? If you haven't thought about this yet, I suggest starting with character skills. I believe that building an elite team all starts with inspiring the individual to realize their full potential. This all starts with developing strong character skills. From there, put them in a place where they can succeed, and watch how well the team comes together and performs.

5moReally good book - and your group approach is inspiring. Reminds me of “if you want to go faster, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together.” If you’re accepting new members, can I join you on the next book?
