Hi Phil,

Sure, sounds good. I checked out your website so I know you are a kick-ass manager with his heart in the right place. I also poked around inside your book, "10 Ways to Make it Great," on Amazon--great stuff!

My book, "Primal Management," is designed to give managers like you the heavy artillery to defend your employee-centric positions. I can send you some chapters if you are interested. My book comes out at the end of April.

I’m entering publicity phase of Primal Management. Are you willing to share your experiences in this department? For example,

• How did your publicity campaign play out?
• What worked best and and what didn't?
• Did you hire a publicist or go it alone?
• I was born in Milwaukee and went to Marquette High School. What media outlets do you think I should target in Milwaukee?

I’m planning to hire a publicist because most authors I’ve spoken with who didn’t, wish they had.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you. Please give me a call if you’d like to chat about the publishing biz—or anything else for that matter (608-833-9446).

Best,

Paul Herr

Hi Phil,
You have a ton of stuff already today. It was nice to see you show up, hang out, and contribute. You made me feel like a Slacker today.

How could I resist Phil? Besides being my favorite Slackers, you and David bring such joy to my life. And talk about being engaged... you are my ho'ohana poster-children!

Aloha hugs Phil!

Do you ever wonder how past leaders could have missed what seems so obvious in hindsight? Sadly, most leaders live in an environment that makes them vulnerable to managerial failure. The problem lies in a little-recognized reality of leadership: iso…

Dear Ray, Your concern is well founded. Employees look forward to surveys like they do a visit to the dentist! The Horsepower Survey, however, is an employee-focused survey to measure how rewarded employees feel about their work. It consists of sev…

As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed." There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…

This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.

Hello Paul: "if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine." I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long. Bob
