Join a Business Book Club (For students of B-school).

Would you like to develop a reading practice?

How about resolving to do it today on Gudhi Padwa?

We start/begin good things on the milestone days like 1^st January, our birthday or so.

Gudhi Padawa is also the beginning of the new year for Maharashtrians. And why not start something useful on the day?

(Behavior science of the "Fresh start effect" supports starting of activities/habits/practice on such milestone days like 1st January or Gudhi Padwa).

So, let’s begin developing a reading hobby/habit as a business school student.

Idea is to focus on "business/management" related books. So, this reading will double up to build knowledge in the area of business/management. (However, you can choose the books as per your interest/liking, there will be no compulsion). Moreover, once the practice is set, you may choose the books in your specialization area like HR, Marketing, Finance, or/and Entrepreneurship, and continue deepening your reading practice.

Thus:

· If you wish to develop a reading practice.

· If you are willing to invest little time on it – from as little as 15/20 minutes to 1 hour. (Regularly investing just 15 minutes will result in a reading of 4 to 6 books per year!)

· If you are willing to invest a little bit in books. (You can buy, borrow from any library, or borrow from friends. Anything is fine). (Popular non-fiction paperbacks generally cost 300 to 500 Rs per book. To start with you may read a book or so per month).

· If you are BBA/MBA student currently. (Preferably have studied with me).

 

Then I invite you to join.

 

This will be a sort of book club. Modalities and details we will chalk out soon.

Remember this is not a class/course and will not have any tests/exams/assessments 😊.

It is informal activity, not linked to any entity/organization as of today. 

Reading is my hobby and I love helping others to develop this hobby. That's it!

But to take benefit and learn, you must be interested and willing to read and learn.

 

Currently objective is to read books that are useful as BBA/MBA student and leverage them to be a better student. As I have little/some experience in coordinating book clubs and reading books, I will be able to help you to select books, read them in a better way, and leverage them to improve desirable competencies (KSA – Knowledge, skills, and abilities. For starters- competency – is an HR Jargon 😊).

If things turn out well, you may be able to add a line or two to your resume.  

Ultimately it is expected to groom you as a better student.

So, if this excites you, do join!
