Business Book Club
Finally, a book club for business readers. Many leaders read business books to gather information useful in the workplace. What if there was an opportunity not only to read the book, but to discuss it with other leaders? The Business Book Club at The Leadership Connection offers that opportunity today.
How It Works
The Leadership Connection team selects a business book, members read specified chapters, and then meet once a week for five weeks to discuss content in the context of their work setting. In addition, the Book Club facilitator incorporates time for leaders to think about specific actions they can take to practice what is learned. This fall, The Leadership Connection offers two Business Book Clubs in the morning to help energize the start of your day.
