Book Club Templates for Teams and Communities of Practice

Image
As a product leader and infinite learner, I've discovered that learning is not just reading a book (10%) but also learning from others (20%) and implementing those insights (70%). Reading a book together allows you to read, learn from each other, and be accountable for applying what you have learned. This can help upskill the whole team or community of practice (CoP) and establish a common vernacular. Here are some recommendations for starting a book club with your team or community of practice.

Mosyle App Management Recently, I had to reinstall everything on my Mac after IT installed Mosyle to manage our Macs at work. As a result, I had to start from scratch and install all of my preferred apps and customize my settings again. To make the process smoother in the future, I documented the steps I took, including the apps I installed and the customizations I made. In sharing my process, I hope it can help others who may also need to reinstall everything on their Mac.
