A Podcast for Business Leaders and HR Professionals.
Listen. Learn. Discuss.
Bookends Book Club is a forum in which business leaders can learn more from the authors of key books in the area of leadership, talent development, teamwork, and other issues related to for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Interviews with authors and thought-leaders are available as podcasts along with discussion guides.
You’ve heard that old saying: so many books, so little time. How true!
Often it is difficult to decide which books will offer the most value for your limited time resources. Bookends Book Club was created to help you address this very problem. In just one hour of ‘multi-tasking time’ while you drive, jog, or clean your kitchen, you can take a tour of a book written for organizational leaders and HR professionals. Whether you’re a CEO, CFO, manager, supervisor, physician, or pastor, this material can help enhance the leader in you.
We have selected books that deal with themes important to successful organizations (profit and non-profit) including: employee engagement, leadership, and personal development.
Here, we feature books with important messages about people management, relationships, and organizational success. Our author interviews take you on an extensive walk-through of each featured book. This provides an inside look at each book so that you know you will be investing your time in the books you really want to read before you purchase them.
