Many of the greatest accomplishments can only be reached by two people working together. Tenzing and Hillary were first to scale Everest. Malone and Stockton were the key to each other’s success on the basketball court. Eisner was never as effective at Disney without Wells. But while some partnerships reach great heights, others fall short. Why do some people click while others clash? What do great pairs have in common? And what can be learned from the most powerful partnerships to strengthen collaboration in work and life? Based on Gallup’s groundbreaking research, Power of 2 details the eight elements that prepare partners to succeed in their most important endeavors. Rodd Wagner and Gallup World Poll leader Dr. Gale Muller share the science and the secrets of successful collaboration. Mixing key insights about human nature, field-tested discoveries, and the inspiring stories of partnerships that reached the pinnacle, Power of 2 will change the way readers think about working with someone else.
Starting a Book Club: It's Easy!!
Review books of interest. Suggestion: Some books come with end of chapter discussion questions...this helps.
Choose a book.
Determine the meeting place and time. Suggestion: A board room with a table for note taking works well.
Decide the frequency of the meetings. Suggestion: weekly or biweekly.
Decide how much the participants will read for each session. Suggestion: no more than one chapter per session, unless chapters are very short.
Determine how many sessions are necessary based on the number of chapters in the selected book. Select the start and end dates.
Send an email or call people from your workplace/community group to ask if they would be interested in participating.
Determine who will facilitate. This is someone who determines questions for group discussion and keeps the conversation flowing, and makes sure everyone gets a chance to speak.
Have someone donate coffee/cream. Suggestion: take turns bringing snacks.
Have fun and learn from one another!
