Book: "Entrepreneurial StrengthsFinder" by Jim Clifton, Sangeeta Bharadwaj Badal

Check it out here:  http://www.gallup.com/press/176885/entrepreneurial-strengthsfinder.aspx

Overview:

 Who has the most talent for building and sustaining a business?

How can we find these people who are so crucial to the future of the American and global economies?

What are the personality characteristics and behaviors that lead to business building and success?

Entrepreneurial StrengthsFinder delves into the psychology of the entrepreneur. Gallup research shows that decisions and actions, influenced by the personality of the entrepreneur, affect the survival and growth of any venture.

Building on the runaway success of StrengthsFinder 2.0, which has sold more than 4 million copies, Entrepreneurial StrengthsFinder focuses on the world's rare business builders -- and what drives them to start, sustain, and grow a successful company.

The book includes strategies and action items for building successful ventures. It also features an online test that measures readers' entrepreneurial potential.

Written for mentors and coaches of entrepreneurs -- and for investors and entrepreneurs who want to start or grow a business -- Entrepreneurial StrengthsFinder helps readers find, engage, and develop the unsung heroes of the global economy.

This engaging discussion will be facilitated by Owen Ryan, a serial entrepreneur.

As a reminder, you don't have to read the book to attend! Most do not, and we always have a very engaging discussion!

During this roundtable we'll:

· share our own experiences in this area in our businesses
· share best practices from our own personal experience or from industry thought leaders
· share ideas on how to improve the area within our businesses to fuel growth

Note: We are looking for people to facilitate book discussions in 2016, so please don’t hesitate to contact me if there is a book that you’re passionate about and would like to share with the group. The meetings take place the second Friday of every month. Thanks!
