See all- Agile Austin Book Club: Leading from Anywhere, session 2Link visible for attendees
We're reading Leading from Anywhere: The Essential Guide to Managing Remote Teams, by David Burkus. We'll read and discuss through “Running Virtual Meetings” at our June 5th meeting, and expect to conclude our discussion June 19th. But we're agile, we'll take more (or less) time as appropriate.
(The Zoom link is visible right after you register. The link to the Miro discussion board will be posted in the Zoom chat once the meeting is underway.)
And if you want a jump on reading July's book, it's Getting to Sorry: The Art of Apology at Work and at Home, by Marjorie Ingall & Susan McCarthy.
Do you have a book to recommend? Please submit this form, so our program committee can consider it.

Remote Process
Our process is in flux -- we're experimenting with new moderation and recording techniques, so please be on time and please be patient. And expect a call for participation -- we want this to be your book club.
Discussion Notes
for this and all our books may be found here. Notes are open to comment by anyone (please do!) and you'll also find how to get REIMBURSEMENT for books and the READING LIST for possible future books. (Discussion notes may or may not be taken in future -- we're experimenting to see what's valuable.)
About Book Club
We meet most months the 1st and 3rd Thursdays, so you can put that in your calendar. When and if we resume physical meetings we'll feed you, and if you participate in most of the sessions, we'll even reimburse you for the book, so save that receipt.
We have not recorded Book Club sessions in the past, but that could change:
