Special Music; Diego Rivera, MSU college of music associate professor of Jazz put the saxophone through its paces acapella performing John Coltrane’s “Alabama”. Rotarian Terry our chair of the month covered all the bases with the music and the introduction of his speaker Kevin Suboski. Mr. Suboski has built a successful business around the EOS, Entrepreneurial Operating System, made famous by Gino Wickman’s best seller “Traction”. Kevin brings the essentials of the concept to light personally and, to us, verbally summarizing the fundamentals emphasizing that leaders must understand the weakness of our personality foibles. Overcoming selfish altruism and a failure of leaders to create symmetry goals that must be sold through storytelling to achieve a shared vision. This is not an easy result Mr. Suboski made clear but he has created literature and with his assistance leaders can improve their chances. He is available as a consultant for moderate sized businesses at kevin @suboski.com to measurably make the latest innovation axiomatic. I’m sure Mr. Suboski was pleased when his presentation was honored by being added to the $2,000,000 Rotary has collected for worthy organizations. Next week another Zoom meeting Friday, October 23, David Barr discussing Russian Brainstorming or shall we say chemical additions to tea drinking critics methodology.
