The CFJC’s Nonprofit Book Club has read and discussed 10 books together, and we welcome you to join us for Book #11! This opportunity is open to anyone – donors, nonprofit partners, and community members. The Nonprofit Book Club is an informal space for professional development, networking, and learning. We hope you can join us.

Leaders Eat Last

Join us for Book #11 – “Leaders Eat Last” by Simon Sinek. Simon is a well-known author and speaker best known for his Ted Talk and book, “Start with Why.” A brief description of the book can be found below. We hope you will join us in reading and discussing Simon’s “Leaders Eat Last” over Zoom. Discussion dates and zoom links can be found below. Anyone is welcome to attend!

“In his bestselling sophomore book, Leaders Eat Last, Simon takes us to the next level of understanding why some organizations do better than others by detailing all elements of the leadership challenge. For a company to be successful, its leaders need to understand the true purpose of their organization, and use that purpose as a northstar not only in how they conduct themselves as a business, but also in how they care for those in their charge.” – Simon Sinek’s Website
