This week we’re passing along an idea suggested by Tracy L. Elliott in his recent webinar, Building a Leadership Culture.

Looking for new ways to support a culture of leadership at your organization? Tracy L. Elliott, President & CEO of The Anti-Cruelty Society, shared several actionable ideas in his webinar in The Association’s A Great Place to Work series. How about starting a Leadership Book Club in which those wishing to can meet regularly to discuss ways to grow their leadership skills?

The following are suggestions recommended by Elliott, as well as by other animal welfare colleagues. What would you add to the list?
