Dinner after class - Nirvana

It's a really good idea to talk about what you are learning in school with people outside of your class, and outside of the company you work in.  On Friday night of the 2nd weekend of the EMBA at Rice, one of my classmates, Meena, and I had dinner with my friend Anthony Startz.  She is the Human Resources director of Lamons Gasket, a supplier to Dow and many other large companies.  We caught up on social topics but we also discussed what she and her company is doing, and how that is related to our Strategy and Organizational Behavior classes.  We also talked about business books.  Anthony recommended Strength Finder 2.0 and I recommended Overcoming the 5 dysfunctions of a team.  I also recommended The Ladders, for finding highly talented humans. Dinner was at Nirvana (highly recommended.)
