Article Club, which allows the workforce to participate in and lead discussions on various leadership topics, similar to partic- ipation in a book club. Every six-to-seven weeks, volunteers
facilitate a discus-
sion on a leadership topic selected by the PM’s senior leaders. A leadership article is distributed as well as questions selected by the facilitator a few weeks in advance of the discussion. As of the publishing of this article there have been 16 club meetings facilitated by 16 different emerging leaders within PM CCS. Tese events receive high participation across the organization and benefit employee development by intro- ducing various soft skill topics, such as leading in the virtual environment, time management, emotional stability, stress management and organizational change management.
