Today is the official “publication date” of my first book, Leadership and the Art of Struggle, beginning a weeklong online launch celebration. There will be tweet chats, blog reviews, radio interviews, tweets, and Facebook excitement.
As all this is going on, I want to take a moment to express my appreciation to the many people who have helped me on this journey.
This has been a trip filled with wonderment, excitement, and learning. At each point on the path I have been blessed to come into contact with those with wisdom and insight to guide me to the next way station.
The reality is that this book is the product of a whole community, individuals who participated in my research, critiqued my ideas, reviewed my manuscripts, provided the illustrations, and transformed my garbled and rambling prose into polished sentences.
But it does not stop there.
Already, a whole team of marketing professionals have worked steadily and swiftly to get the word out. In a world cluttered with many megaphone- clad authors, this is no easy feat.
But it does not stop even there.
As more people have learned about the book, the excitement seems to feed on itself. Now readers are starting to tell other readers.
To all who have helped in this process: please accept my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation. Without you, none of this would have been possible.
It is an honor and privilege to included in the excitement!
