Ex Libris is a reader's club for organizational leaders who are
interested in coming together to examine and discuss current leader-
ship and organizational development issues. Each month a current
book on leadership and organizational development is selected for
reading and a one-hour telephone forum is held in which club members
engage in collective inquiry and discussion around key concepts and
ideas as presented by the author(s) of these selected texts.
Additionally, a FREE Executive Book Summary is available by request
each month to interested readers.
Participation in Club Reader Forums is also FREE. Club members are,
however, expected to assume responsibility for the purchase of books
and the cost of long distance telephone charges. Registration to
attend reader forums is offered on a month-by-month basis and forum
size is limited in order to allow for group interaction. Space is
filled on a first come, first served basis.
The theme for the second half of 1998 is the evolution of a leader's
character and career.
With this theme in mind, the first two texts selected for the 2nd
Half of 1998 are "Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership" by
Joseph Jaworski and "Defining Moments: When Managers Must Choose
between Right and Right" by Joseph L. Badaracco, Jr. Both of these
texts will be used to establish a "dialogue framework" for the
remaining texts which consist of a series of books written by
contemporary U.S. leaders. A list of selected books as well as
a 2nd Half/1998 calendar of reader forums is below.
Please Note:
============
1) Participation in any Ex Libris Reader Forum does not require
past participation or that you have read the book. An Executive
Summary of each book being discussed is provided in advance of
each Reader Forum in order to provide an overview of the concepts
and ideas that will be discussed.
2) There are 8 book selections for the 2nd Half of 1998 which required
more than one Reader Forum per month. Specifically, both July and
August have two Reader Forums scheduled.
3) The focus of the next six months is centered upon books written by
contemporary leaders within the U.S. If you would like to recommend
adding a book written by a leader outside of the U.S. please
contact <laureen@quanah.com. with your recommendation and it will
be considered for inclusion.
Organizational leaders wishing to be added to QUANAH's Ex Libris
