I’d like to make Team of Rivals, next month’s read for me.  After reading the review, it appears to be a great book.
The premise is to surround yourself with people who think differently than you do. However, the name of the book makes the concept seem more calculated than I believe it to be.
Recently, someone told me this concept was a bad idea. I can see how one might think this, however, I personally really appreciate banter and opposing view points. If we are able to listen to one another and really understand where the other person is coming from we have an opportunity to bridge the divide.  If we only surround ourselves with like thinkers we become isolated “same think.”

So to all my family, friends, and colleagues, thank you! Know that I always appreciate your feedback – especially when it is from another point of view.   I never mean to offend nor am I easily offended – just looking for thought provoking friendly banter.

An extra special thanks to those that keep me grounded and inspire me…you know who you are…I appreciate our diversity.

all the best,
angel
