I have been taking a leadership class. Last night, I, along with two of my classmates presented the first half of the book Tuesdays With Morrie. I drew a mind map of the first five Tuesdays Mitch Albom discussed with Morrie Schwartz.
The mind map goes over the first five topics Morrie and Mitch discuss:
- The world
- Feeling sorry for yourself
- Regrets
- Death
- Family
These are topics you don’t normally talk about at work. But I found through the discussion that leadership is more than getting things done and motivating the office. We bring our whole selves to work and what we think and feel about important topics affects everything we do.
So here’s the question we gave the class: If you knew you were dying, what would you tell a loved one or a coworker about one of these topics?
What would you say?
