Join the Book Club
Running a book club is a great way for people to get together and share a common interest, and when you apply the concept to a company it not only allows you to learn something new from the book itself, but you also learn about the people within your organization.
If you love reading and discussing great books, don’t miss out on our #book-club channel! It’s where we share our current reads, exchange recommendations, and celebrate our passion for books. Join the conversation and connect with fellow book enthusiasts!

The Culture Map
By Erin Mayer
The book explores how cultural differences impact international business and communication. Meyer introduces a framework to understand various cultural dimensions, such as communication styles, feedback, and decision-making processes.
Tatiana Cirio | Chief Human Resources Officer
“While we’ve already conducted training sessions on this book, deepening our understanding would be immensely beneficial for all Rocketeers. It will not only improve our daily collaboration with colleagues but also reinforce our dedication to embracing and thriving in a multicultural environment.”
Shoe Dog
By Phil Knight
"Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight is a memoir by the co-founder of Nike, Inc. The book chronicles Knight’s journey from starting Nike in 1964 with a small investment and a vision to turning it into one of the world’s most iconic brands. Through candid storytelling, he provides insights into the highs and lows of his business journey and the people who helped shape Nike’s success.
Matthew Gilbo | Chief Revenue Officer
“Shoe Dog is my favorite that I have read and strongly suggest everyone read! This book is a must read for anyone that is trying to build something great. There are lessons at each stage of building Nike and the stories make it book most folks will likely read or listen too more than once.”
Good To Great
By Jim Collins
"Good to Great” by Jim Collins explores what differentiates companies that make the leap from being merely good to truly great. Based on extensive research, Collins and his team analyze a set of companies that have sustained exceptional performance over time.
Bruno Bin | Chief Marketing Officer
“The most important insight I had was that ‘good is the enemy of great.’ This means that many companies fall into a trap of complacency once they achieve satisfactory results. As they deliver good outcomes, they may become comfortable and cease to strive for greatness.”
