SUMMARY:Book Discussion - The Friction Project by Robert I. Sutton & Huggy Rao
DESCRIPTION:Spring Book Discussion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarch 30 to June 8\, 2024\, meeting every other Saturday from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (CT).  \n\n\n\nThe spring discussion book is The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder by Robert I. Sutton & Huggy Rao. From the Amazon summary:  \n\n\n\nEvery organization is plagued by destructive friction. Yet some forms of friction are incredibly useful\, and leaders who attempt to improve workplace efficiency often make things even worse. Drawing from seven years of hands-on research\, The Friction Project by bestselling authors Robert I. Sutton and Huggy Rao teaches readers how to become “friction fixers.” \n\n\n\nSutton and Rao kick off the book by unpacking how skilled friction fixers think and act like trustees of others’ time. They provide friction forensics to help readers identify where to avert and repair bad organizational friction and where to maintain and inject good friction. Then their help pyramid shows how friction fixers do their work\, from reframing friction troubles they can’t fix right now\, so they feel less threatening\, to designing and repairing organizations. The heart of the book digs into the causes and solutions for five of the most common and damaging friction troubles: oblivious leaders\, addition sickness\, broken connections\, jargon monoxide\, and fast and frenzied people and teams. \n\n\n\nSound familiar? Sutton and Rao are here to help. They wrap things up with lessons for leading your own friction project\, including linking little things to big things; the power of civility\, caring\, and love for propelling designs and repairs; and embracing the mess that is an inevitable part of the process (while still trying to clean it up). \n\n\n\nJoin us for a 6-session book discussion series\, meeting virtually by Zoom every other Saturday from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (CT).  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReading Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 30 • Pages 1-49\n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 13 • Pages 50-92\n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 27 • Pages 93-147\n\n\n\nSaturday\, May 11 • Pages 148-179\n\n\n\nSaturday\, May 18 • Pages 180-229\n\n\n\nSaturday\, June 8 • Pages 230-261\n\n\n\n\nNot sure you can make all six sessions?  No worries!  Participants are encouraged to register and attend any combination of the sessions that work for their schedule. Get your copy of The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder through Amazon\, your favorite bookstore or library. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMORE INFORMATION
