Ask A Manager: Work Stuff Book Club

Landing page for the AskAManager.org Book Club

Our first discussion is Friday, July 6th, about Alison's own newest book: Ask a Manager (ISBN: 9780399181818). I'll post a link to the comment thread once the weekend is done.

Our second discussion will be Friday, August 3rd, and with 6 voters in the poll, the winner is Thrive, by Arianna Huffington (ISBN: 9780804140867)

Our next poll for deciding on the September read (September 7th) is up here: https://doodle.com/poll/y2cvw3aqp26p5pc6 and will be linked in my user name on the comment thread.


Please continue to suggest titles or cateogories you'd like to read (falling under the loose umbrella of professional development or interest) in the comments here or there and I'll add them to the list!
