“Sharpen the Leadership Saw” (SLS) is a quarterly half-day book and leadership forum. It is offered to all current SIM members, and all former SIM RLF graduates, who are interested in evolving as a leader. Through discussions of carefully selected books and through speakers who are IS/IT leaders, the program offers you the opportunity to improve your fundamental understanding of “leadership”, and your own personal brand of it. We read one book in advance, discuss the book and another topic, and listen to a guest speaker who is an IS or IT leader like you. For those of you who yearn to read leadership specific books, this program may be just the little push you need to make it happen.
The next session is scheduled for November 18th, 2008, from 2:00 p.m. until after dinner, and it will be hosted at K-Force in Burlington. The book for this session is The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid, by CK Prahalad. (Please note that the registration cost does not include the cost of the book.)
The guest speaker will be Rick Swanborg, President of ICEX, Inc., and Professor at Boston University. Click here to see Rick's bio. The topic will be Business ethics & definitions of integrity & character.
