  Join us on April 9th over Zoom for our Book Club!
  

  
  

  All participants will be mailed a FREE copy of the selected book upon registration. We will meet via zoom (video) to discuss our thoughts on the book on April 9th!

  Our book selection for this session is Think Again by Adam Grant. This event is reserved for NHRA members only, and we ask that you provide your address at registration so that we can send you a copy of the book we'll be discussing. 

  Book Synopsis:

  

  Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval--and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become.
  
  Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds--and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

  Most workforces are woefully unprepared to safely and effectively leverage GenAI. That’s a missed opportunity – new research shows that, on average, workers believe they could increase their productivity by 10-30% if they had more AI-related skills.
  
  Find out how those who are leading the way in AI adoption are upskilling their workforce to scale the benefits of this technology. Join us on May 15 to hear key findings from the latest Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) study, Workforce Readiness in the Era of AI.
  
  We will explore:
  
  • How market leaders operationalize and scale AI with strategic support from HR
  • What development and training those with prepared workforces are offering and to whom
  • Why AI’s most prolific users in the workplace are the most fearful of being replaced by it
  • Why a future-ready workforce is more important to improved market performance than AI readiness.
