Black Box Thinking: Why Most People Never Learn from Their Mistakes (Matthew Syed)
Pages & Progress  - A No-Pressure Book Club for Learning Pros

A guilt-free book club for busy L&D professionals who love learning but are drowning in their to-do lists. We meet quarterly on Fridays at Noon to discuss development books - read (or listen) to the whole thing, skim a chapter, or just show up for the conversation. No judgment, just great discussions, peer networking, and actionable insights you can take back to your work. Progress over perfection, always. Books are selected based on the ATD Talent Capability Model

This quarter we'll read Black Box Thinking: Why Most People Never Learn from Their Mistakes by Matthew Syed.

Nobody wants to fail. But in highly complex organizations, success can happen only when we confront our mistakes, learn from our own version of a black box, and create a climate where it’s safe to fail.

Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CST

Members: FREE

Non-Members: $10
