Book Club Aha’s — Vol. 3

The FRAKXION Book Club gets together to dig into a book, build on each other’s interpretations, and pull out the aha’s that actually change how we work.

For this round, we explored two reads on building teams and building the life to go with them — and by the end, our discussion board was covered in sticky notes.

Unicorn Team: The Nine Leadership Types You Need to Launch Your Big Ideas with Speed and Success by Jen Kem shows how to identify your Unicorn Leadership Type so you can build and lead the most collaborative, harmonious, and motivated team of Unicorns to achieve extraordinary results.
