CSN’s Summer Book Club: The Octopus Organization — Three sessions. Three big ideas. One smarter way to lead.  (back)
 
Description:
This summer, the Campus Supervisors Network is exploring The Octopus Organization, a book that reimagines how teams create clarity, build ownership, and strengthen accountability in a rapidly changing workplace.

We’ll break the book into three one hour sessions, each focused on one of its three core parts and 36 antipatterns:
• PART 1 — Creating Clarity (June 16: 1:00-2:00 pm)
• PART 2 — Increasing Ownership (July 9: 1:00-2:00 pm)
• PART 3 — Inciting Curiosity (July 23: 1:00-2:00 pm)

Join one, two, or all three sessions — whatever fits your summer schedule. We are sharing instructions on how to access the book through the UW–Madison Libraries, so no purchase is required.

This is a great chance to connect with colleagues and sharpen your leadership practice in a low pressure, high impact format.

Next steps will be communicated to all registrants before each session.
