Why A Book Club?
“I'm a voracious readers. I average a book a week. I've always been jealous of my wife and her book clubs, except that I want to read the top professional development books, and have nerdy intellectual conversations about them!” —Brian
Book Summary: Atul Gawande shows how simple checklists prevent devastating mistakes in complex fields like surgery and aviation. The proof: A basic surgical checklist reduced hospital deaths by 47% worldwide. The insight: Even experts make predictable errors - checklists catch them before they happen.
This book will be a game-changer for:
Anyone managing complex projects
Leaders wanting to reduce team errors
Professionals handling high-stakes decisions
People who think they're "too experienced" for checklists
Bottom line: This isn't dumbing things down - it's outsmarting human limitations.
