This month we'll review and discuss The One Thing You Need to Know..about great managing, great leading, and sustained individual success by Marcus Buckingham. The author, one of the most respected business authors today, is known for studying the big picture then finding the core concept to even the most complex topic. In The One Thing, he looks at 3 fundamental areas for sustained organizational success: great managing, great leading and sustained individual success. 

My synopsis:

"Many of my most vivid memories stem from the discovery of a core concept that, all by itself, served to clarify something that, a moment before, had seemed unfathomably, ineffably complex."

What is the core concept - "the one thing" - necessary in each of the levels Buckingham looks at? Join the book review and discussion on January 17th (meeting the 3rd Friday this month) and learn the performance and career lessons for business people at all career stages.

Haven't read the book? No problem. We'll cover the key points and provide a copy of the SynkNotes for your to review later. Light lunch provided.

Doors open at 11:45. Review starts at noon. We're finished by 12:45, but feel free to keep the discussion going until 1:15.

See you then. Spread the word.
