WORKSHOPS

HRD915 - Leadership Book Club

Participants meet for occasional 50-minute bag lunch discussions of selected books on leadership.
Membership is free.

Current Book: Quiet Leadership: Six Steps toTransform Performance at Work

Quiet Leadership is an excellent and rich book that can profoundly affect the way we interact with people in (and out of) the workplace, particularly those we lead.

In order to get the most from it, let’s spend our session discussing Pages 1- 100 and Pages 187-232. (if you want to read the whole book – great!)

As the group is interested, we can schedule another lunch hour to complete the rest of the book.

Reading the assigned pages is required to attend the session.
