Note from Art: this is shameless promotion and good clean fun. I’m working hard on extending the variety of vehicles that I publish original leadership and management content in, and the Management Excellence e-newsletter is soon to launch. I would love to have you as a subscriber and this is a fun way of stimulating some subscriptions.
First some background, and then the promotion description. I’ve long threatened to start an e-Newsletter, but have been short on execution. A good friend of mine recently referenced it as my “Unicorn” project…something frequently talked about but never seen.
Well, stop the presses, because there’s about to be a unicorn sighting. OK, actually, I cannot produce a unicorn, but the Management Excellence e-newsletter is getting set to launch.
No Reconstituted Blog Posts in this Newsletter…Original Content Only
It’s important to me (and to you) to ensure that there is a distinction between the newsletter and the blogs (Management Excellence and Building Better Leaders), so you have my promise of original content only. The focus remains on providing great, practical and actionable ideas for leadership, all things management and for you in your career.
As an aside, many of you already subscribe to the blog via e-mail. This is different.
Program Updates and Promotions Yes, But Kept to a Dull Roar in the Sidebar:
I have every intention of sharing updates on the latest courses and programs and pitching the current and forthcoming book, but I promise to keep it isolated in the sidebar. Ignore or click-on it as you see fit. The core of the newsletter is the content.
Your e-Mail Information is for the Management Excellence Newsletter Only!
You have my word!
Enough Context…Here’s the Promotion:
- The book in this promotion is mine with Rich Petro, entitled: Practical Lessons in Leadership-A Guidebook for Aspiring and Experienced Leaders. You can visit Dan McCarthy’s “Great Leadership site to see his thoughts on the book, or, catch Wally Bock’s (Three Star Leadership) review on Amazon, along with several others.
- I will randomly pick 4 new subscribers that sign up for the Management Excellence newsletter between today 12/12/09 and midnight Chicago time on Wednesday 12/16/09, to receive a free copy of the book.
- Thanks to the great coverage of the Management Excellence blog from the editors of SmartBrief, many of you joined the list between 12/7 and 12/11. I will draw one of your names as well.
The fine print:
- U.S. residents only. Sorry folks outside of the U.S. Due to shipping costs and complexities, I am keeping this one close to home.
- The promotion closes on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at midnight Chicago time.
- The promotion is only open to new subscribers as of 12/12/09, with the noted exception for those that joined during the past week.
- If you win, by opting in, you are providing me permission to send an e-mail to you to obtain shipping instructions.
Here’s How to Win:
- Visit either the Management Excellence or Building Better Leaders blog sites (same database/same ME Newsletter for both) and find the header in the far right column labeled “e-Newsletter Mailing List.”
- Follow the instructions and make certain to confirm your registration when you receive the confirmation e-mail request, and you’re in!
- If your name was picked, you will receive an e-mail from me asking for shipping instruction.

OK, enough channeling of my inner PT Barnum today. I look forward to serving you with the Management Excellence Newsletter and I truly appreciate and value your readership.
Now, back to work on next week’s Leadership Caffeine post!
