Put on your pajamas, grab your favorite night-time beverage, prop up your feet after a long day of delivering life-changing hand therapy and join a lively discussion with some of your ASHT friends. Lively discussion among hand therapists is always fun. But this lively discussion is not about hand therapy. It’s about leadership. ASHT is continuing its Leadership Development Virtual Book Club on April 20, 2017 at 8 p.m. ET.
Many of us find ourselves in positions of leadership either by effort or accident. We may find ourselves a bit lost. We can’t fabricate, palpate or tape leadership. Thankfully, there are leaders who are willing to share 
their experiences. John Maxwell has done just that in his book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.
Maxwell shares personal stories of successes and mistakes along with examples of great leaders, such as Teddy Roosevelt and Mother Theresa, to bring alive the concepts of leadership. Takeaway life pearls such as “you have to touch the heart before you ask for a hand,” and “people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Man, that sounds like a clinical pearl as well!
Through 21 irrefutable laws, Maxwell reassures us that leadership skills can be developed. In fact, the law of process emphasizes “Leadership doesn’t develop in a day. It takes a lifetime.” So no matter where you are in your career or in your quest to be a leader, this book and discussion is for you!
So on April 20, 2017, kick back, dial in and be among the hand therapy world’s best and developing leaders. Yes, that includes you!
