A lot of companies conduct anonymous "360 review" processes which veer into this territory to some degree.

Also, several business schools conduct leadership labs. In fact, a large chunk of the business school experience is really about social grooming / learning how to network / and so forth.

So do we have any traction for this idea? How about a meetup?

Thanks, those are useful leads. I've done the 360 review thing but hadn't connected it to this idea.

It seems to have gotten a good amount of interest. I've got a draft post going that still needs some polish, but I should hopefully be able to get it finished this weekend. If all goes to plan some sort of meetup should follow.

Any suggestions on logistics? I'm not at all sure what the best way to organize this is, I'd appreciate any thoughts.
