The Michigan City Chamber of Commerce and Leadership La Porte County invites you to join us for a fun and lively discussion at the Leaders and Readers Book Club. Whether you’re a serial page-turner or just here personal growth, this is the place to connect, chat, and share ideas about books that inspire leadership, creativity, and growth.

The Book:       

The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann                

The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. Desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his many devotees simply as the Chairman. Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving – putting others’ interests first and continually adding value to their lives – ultimately leads to unexpected returns.        

Register by February 14th to receive the book.
