How To Start A Book Club
- Decide when to meet and for how long. For example, a monthly one-hour meeting so that each team member can read the book, write a book summary, and give their inputs.
- Choose a book selection.
- Decide on a meeting format. During the meeting, each team member will share their feeling about the book - what they liked, disliked, how the department could benefit from its idea, how it relates to other books you've read as a department.
- Assigning one person to take notes can be a good idea. Every person will give unique perspectives about what is relevant.
