Good to Great
Book Club
This workshop series took place
July – August, 2024
We are excited to introduce a new opportunity for professional development and networking for California leaders in child- and family-serving organizations. CalTrin is launching a book club, and we’d like to invite you to be a part of it!
Over the course of 6 weeks, we will read and discuss Good to Great by Jim Collins in a small group format. Participants will receive a free copy of the book.
Why Good to Great? In Good to Great, Jim Collins examines how organizations can make the leap from being good to truly great.
What to Expect: Our book club is designed to be an enriching experience, fostering professional development and a sense of community. Here’s what you can expect:
- Weekly Assigned Reading: Participants are expected to read 2-3 assigned chapters weekly and prepare to discuss insights.
- Engaging Discussions: Every week, we will gather virtually to discuss the assigned chapters, share takeaways, and explore how the book’s concepts can be applied to your organization or work.
- Professional Growth: “Good to Great” offers valuable lessons on leadership, organizational excellence, and the journey from good to great.
- Networking: Connect with fellow helping professionals, share your experiences, and build a supportive network.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Gain fresh perspectives on leadership and organizational excellence.
- Connect with fellow professionals across child- and family-serving organizations and systems.
- Apply the book’s insights to your own work and drive positive change in your organization.
Who Should Attend: Team Leads, supervisors, managers, directors, and other leaders with direct reports in family resource centers, Child Abuse Prevention Councils, community-based organizations, and other child- and family-serving systems.
