Seventy Five Free Book Summaries!
by Jim Cathcart
Below you will find links to SEVENTY FIVE BOOK SUMMARIES!
Reading the RIGHT books and discussing them in the RIGHT way in the RIGHT forum can enhance your leadership skills and communication abilities. My friend, Frumi Rachel Barr, MBA, PhD has created a LEADERSHIP BOOK CLUB that can be your ongoing resource!
She has two resources for you: 1. The free Book Summaries and 2. The Leadership Book Club.
Here is why she created this club, In her words….
“I know how much time it takes to read a book and how many books are sitting on the pile, ready to be read. I don’t know about you, but after a while they started to make me feel guilty. I wondered when I would read all the books that I knew would make me feel better informed.
There was also another challenge that I encountered with reading a lot – all the books I read started to blend together in my mind and I couldn’t remember what I read in which book. That’s why I thought Book Summaries were a good idea. I could read many more book summaries than I ever could books. I started writing summaries on the books that I read so I could revisit them and remember what I read and where.
Then I started sharing my book notes with all the people I knew. My clients love to hear about what I have read so that they too can learn. That’s how a joint journey of learning about leadership, making difficult decisions, knowing how to have tough conversations and many other things began.
I was inspired to start a community of learning and that’s when sharing my book notes and starting a book club by teleconference was born.
