📚 Team Book Club: Growth, Insights & Connection
If there are more than two of you — that’s already a team.
And if you want to grow — try starting a book club.
It’s not about obligation. It’s about development, sharing experiences, and realizing that even when reading the same book — people see different things.
🚀 Why It Works
- 📖 Everyone reads differently and takes away something unique.
- 💡 Discussion helps you notice what you might have missed.
- 👥 It brings the team closer — you start speaking the same language.
- 🔁 Builds a culture of continuous learning.
- 🎯 Helps solve work problems from new and deeper perspectives.
⚙️ How to Start
1. Start Small
Suggest reading one book per quarter. That’s just 3–4 books a year — easy and manageable.
2. Increase the Pace
If it works — try one book every 2 months, then even one book a month.
That’s 12 books a year — and a ton of fresh insights.
🧠 How to Choose a Book
- 📌 Based on current challenges you’re facing.
- 📌 About soft skills, communication, processes.
- 📌 About product, marketing, strategy, UX.
- 📌 Fiction works too! The main thing is reflection and discussion.
- ⏱ Meet once a month (or quarterly).
- 🗓 Fixed date — e.g., last Thursday of the month.
- 📍 Online or offline — consistency is key.
- 🧩 Each person shares:
- What stood out
- Ideas applicable to work
- What resonated personally
- 📝 One person prepares a short summary
- 🔄 You can rotate facilitators
💡 Personal Experience
I’ve launched book clubs in companies where I had leadership roles.
And everyone loved it:
- People got to know each other better.
- Conversations started beyond just work.
- It brought motivation and fresh ideas.
📌 Conclusion
If you want growth and team bonding — start a book club.
It’s simple:
- 1 book a quarter → 1 book a month,
- 1 meeting → 1 hour of real conversation,
- 1 initiator → the whole team benefits.
Start small. Just start.
