Book club

This month’s books are:

• I Deliver Parcels in Beijing: On Making a Living by Hu Anyan (author), Jack Hargreaves (translator)
• We will also recap Warriors, Rebels, and Saints: The Art of Leadership from Machiavelli to Malcolm X by Moshik Temkin

You don't even need to have finished the book (although there will be spoilers!).

Why not head over to our Viva Engage (yammer) group for more reading inspiration. Looking forward to a good discussion!
