Book Discussion - The Friction Project by Robert I. Sutton & Huggy Rao
2024-04-27 11:00 - 12:00 | https://coaches-cafe.com/cafe-event/book-discussion-the-friction-project-by-robert-i-sutton-huggy-rao-2/
Spring Book Discussion

March 30 to June 8, 2024, meeting every other Saturday from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (CT).

The 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:

Every 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.”

Sutton 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.

Sound 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).

Join us for a 6-session book discussion series, meeting virtually by Zoom every other Saturday from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (CT).

Book Discussion - The End of the World is Just the Beginning by Peter Zeihan
2024-03-16 11:00 - 12:00 | https://coaches-cafe.com/cafe-event/book-discussion-the-end-of-the-world-is-just-the-beginning-by-peter-zeihan-5/
Winter Book Discussion

January 13 – March 16, 2024, meeting every other Saturday from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (CT).

In The End of the World is Just the Beginning, author and geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan maps out the next world: a world where countries or regions will have no choice but to make their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy, fight their own battles, and do it all with populations that are both shrinking and aging. The list of countries that make it all work is smaller than you think. Which means everything about our interconnected world – from how we manufacture products, to how we grow food, to how we keep the lights on, to how we shuttle stuff about, to how we pay for it all – is about to change.

In customary Zeihan fashion, rather than yelling fire in the geoeconomic theatre, he narrates the accumulation of matchsticks, gasoline, and dynamite in the hands of the oblivious audience, suggesting we might want to call the fire department. A world ending. A world beginning. Zeihan brings readers along for an illuminating (and a bit terrifying) ride packed with foresight, wit, and his trademark irreverence.

Join us for a 6-session book discussion series, meeting virtually by Zoom every other Saturday from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (CT). The winter discussion book is The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization by Peter Zeihan.
