Book club for professional development?

Lesley

Hi Folks,

There are a few books recommended by the profession map self-assessment / learning plan tool that I am interested in and I wondered if anyone would be interested in doing a book club where we read them together and have a virtual/online discussion about the topics and themes?

The books I'm specifically interested in are:

  • 'Compelling People: The Hidden Qualities That Make Us Influential' by J. Neffinger and M. Kohut
  •  'Driving Performance through Learning' by Andy Lancaster.
  • 'Agile Workforce Planning' by Adam Gibson.
  • 'Strategic Workforce Planning: Developing Optimized Talent Strategies for Future Growth' by Ross Sparkman 

But I'm open to other book recommendations too if there's something that others want to read and discuss Slight smile

Hope to hear from some of you!

Lesley

  • Hi is there any update on this? I’m eager to be a part of this and feel it would be really beneficial. Happy to support in the organisation of it :)

    That's great, Cheree.Thank you. 

    I think we've agreed on Andy Lancaster's book, and I posted a link to get the 20% discount (above).

    Just thinking about some questions for kick-starting discussion here after we all read Andy's book!!

    • Did the book appeal to you? Why or why not?
    • Share your favourite argument or quote. Why did you like it?
    • Which aspects of the book (if any!) was less convincing?
    • What is your big takeaway and how might the book help you - at work / your personal development?

    What am I missing?
