Speaker A My name is John Dame. I'm a new chair for Vistage, largest CEO membership organization in the world. And for the past last 30 years, I've been a business person, primarily in the broadcasting industry, owned and operated radio stations in Pennsylvania and New York State, sold those radio stations to a large conglomerate in 1998, and then started a national news network, syndicating talk shows around the United States that I then sold to Salem Communications. At the peak at its peak, my company had about 400 employees that I ran on a national scale, sold for almost $100 million in 1998. Recently, I became a Vistage Chair, and in becoming a Vistage Chair, I worked with CEOs and senior management teams around this area and wanted to learn and expand what I knew about running an organization. There's always room to learn and to find out new things. And I met Rick Oppenheimer, who was another local chair for Vistage, and he had been using the Requisite organization for many years, I think for a number of years now, to gain a common language to move his groups forward in a way that allowed them to talk intelligently about how they want to improve their organizations. And he suggested that I read Book, which I got a copy and started reading, and began to then integrate this as a book study with my group of CEOs a few months ago. So to this point, we've read part one, two and three of the book organizational design, levels of work and human capability, and we've been using that for the past couple of months as a book study. Initially, the book has the feel to me of a series of stories being told about real life circumstances that executives have faced and the outcomes based on their implementation of the process within their organization, at least to this point in my reading. It's not a how to go about implementing this, but more a series of stories and anecdotal evidence of the success of the process within their companies and their organizations. I'm pretty certain that I've already experienced it in my group where people want to know more because this just kind of wets their whistle. So they would like to know more about how do we really do this? And looking at those successes just kind of gets them interested in moving forward.
