CSN Book Club Series: The Clover Practice™  (back)
 
Description:
Do you want to be more effective and engaging in your role as a leader? Would you like to learn tips on how to handle stress, and how to leave the office feeling accomplished verses drained? Campus Supervisors Network introduces the CSN Book Club Series; a new way to network and develop your skills as a supervisor at the UW.

The featured book this summer is from Kathleen A. Paris, Ph.D., who is an emeritus for the University of Wisconsin-Madison Office of Quality Improvement (OQI). Her work, Staying Healthy in Sick Organizations: The Clover Practice™ shows you how to thrive professionally and emotionally in work environments that are frequently unhealthy. With clear directives and tools for how to be an authentic advocate for ourselves and others, and recognize the interconnections that influence our failures and successes. This book provides an elegant metaphor and tool kit for navigating organizational change.

The CSN Book Club will meet three times. Make sure you are available for all three dates when registering, as they build upon each other.

· Distribute books and review materials, discuss expectations of the group, plan for next meeting

Wednesday, July 19, 2017, 2:00PM - 3:30PM
