Welcome to the Leadership Lounge Book Club
The Leadership Lounge Book Club is a free weekly gathering for business owners and leaders who want to read more and think better — together.
We read one business book at a time, meeting every Thursday at 12:00 PM PST for 30 focused minutes. No lectures. No homework pressure. Just honest conversation about what you read and what it means for your business.
Born from a New Year’s resolution to read more, the Leadership Lounge Book Club has become one of the most consistent habits our members swear by. We start on time and end on time.
Bring a coffee, your lunch, or a Slim Jim — we’re about to get social!

This Is Strategy: Make Better Plans
Author: Seth Godin | Published: October 2024 | Publisher: Author’s Equity
Thinkers50 Best New Management Book for 2025
Godin’s take on strategic thinking focuses on adaptability and intentionality over rigid planning. Characteristically punchy and aphoristic — less a traditional business book and more a series of short, thought-provoking provocations about how leaders think about the future. Works well in short reading sessions.
Book Club Fit: High — Godin’s style is built for debate. Short chapters mean members can come prepared with specific passages.
Our approach to reading This Is Strategy
Ch. 1–20: Strategy starts with identity
Ch. 21–40: Goals aren’t strategy — here’s why
Ch. 41–80: Busy doesn’t mean strategic
Ch. 81–120: Escaping the trap of “should”
Ch. 121–160: Fit matters more than prestige
Ch. 161+: Strategy through your customer’s eyes
