Just over 6 months ago, Sixthman created… for lack of a better term, a “reading club” within the company. Not mandatory, but structured.
The idea for Sixthman University was this:
* Over a 6 month time period, those who wanted to participate would choose to read 1 book/ month out of a selected 12 books.
* They would check the books in and out, and would share their thoughts with the whole team at various staff meetings.
*Some of the books would be biographies on artists we work with, some about technology, some about customer service, some about personal growth, and some just completely off the wall.
* The books would be a combination of thicker, dense readings – and light, shorter ones.
* Those who participated would love what they learn, and be excited to continue participating.
Then, the cycle would start over for another 6 months.
Now in month 7, we are tracking behind and desperately need more books.
I know our guests read… I mean, you are reading this blog right now! What I need from you are suggestions for books, magazine articles, blog series, audio tapes, etc that you think will be a great addition to Sixthman University. Topics can range, as can length.
As long as I get more than 10 suggestions, I promise to choose at least half of our readings from this list – so please suggest wisely! I want to know what you’ve read lately, or are reading, or heard you should be reading that we can add to our list.
Come on… bring it!
