cHOP Launches Book Club

Published Date:

The Center for Human and Organizational Potential invites team members to join its new book club.

"One of our strategies for developing a mindset around leadership and excellence across the organization is to begin a movement of book clubs across SIU School of Medicine," said John Mellinger, MD, leader of the cHOP's leadership and excellence initiatives. "The clubs will involve small group meetings with colleagues for an hour, once a month, over the course of a year." Books will be provided, and each month approximately one chapter will be discussed.

The book club will kick off with "The Truth about Leadership" by James Kouzes and Barry Posner. Register and let the cHOP team know your preferred meeting time at https://pintranet.siumed.edu/chop/webform/chop-participation.html (SIU Medicine login required).
