Kaaba Book Club

Kaaba Colloquium will offer an online book club for leaders (local to national) of U.S.G.L. during the fourth quarter of this year. We have chosen our first book:

"Dare to Lead"

When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. 

To join this Book club, please fill out the sign-up form here. The book club will meet four times: twice in October, once in November, and once in December. There will be reading assignments before each meeting, followed by exercises and discussions online together.  Once all respondents to the sign-up form are status-checked with U.S.G.L., a scheduling poll will be released to attendees to finalize meeting times.
