The common phrase goes?don’t judge a book by its cover, but when it comes to?Speak-Up Culture, I’m fine if you do!
Collaborating with the talented and incomparable Peter Cocking and the design team at Page Two , we intentionally built symbolism into the cover of the book. So, what comes to mind as you see the cover? Please?share your comments below! We’d love to hear what you see and if it matches what we intended ??
And, beyond the cover, what better way to learn more about a book than getting a?SNEAK PEEK of what’s inside?!??????
I’m pleased to share that we’ve made the?Preface:?What’s at Stake??and?Chapter 1: How Did This Happen? available for anyone here:
Finally, the response after our first?newsletter?was truly amazing. We heard back directly from so many of you sharing your support.?
You also moved the dial! We saw the book reach #2 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases in Organizational Behaviour in Canada (hence the “u”???). We were also in great company next to one of our early readers and endorsers, Amy Edmondson , on Amazon.com with her new and highly anticipated book, “Right Kind of Wrong.”
Your support?— preordering the book, sharing it with others, responding to us with feedback, making great introductions, and beyond — is?meaningful, palpable, and making a difference.?Truly, thank you! ??
Coming up we’ll be sharing some endorsements from early readers, upcoming launch events we’d love to see you at, and more resources to help you build a speak-up culture.
Until then, keep making it safe and worth it for the people around you to speak up.
Best and grateful,
Shed.

1 年Hi Stephen, I just wrote a post inspired by your post here. Question: What is the means to an end of speaking up? And what is stopping us from speaking up? Let's share and I will share mine.
