Increasing V

Colleagues,

Disclosure: I feel uncomfortable with today’s email as it feels like marketing. Blech. However, the point of the message is that there are different ways we can invest our time, and that if we collaborate, we might increase the value of this community to its members.
 
Today we build on the epiphany I had late last week that if you would recruit people to our community, then I would not have to spend time doing social media stuff. It sounds great to me, but what is the value for you?
 
If I didn’t have to do social media stuff, and we had a large enough community, I would be able to:

• Create more resources to support application of these ideas.
• Build free asynchronous courses to help you apply the content that resonated with you.
• Host live virtual meet-ups where we could share ideas.
• Develop more podcasts.
• Provide group coaching for people who wanted more intensive support implementing strategic leadership.
• And probably other things I haven’t thought about but you have

 
I hope this raises your V in the recruiting members equation. Outside of our situation, the broader point is this:

• Leaders only have so much time, energy, and intention.
• When people in organizations work together, leaders can spend more time serving those people and less time managing tasks.

 
Cheers!
