Coaching eBook: Good Question Delays Launch 1 day

So I'm minding my own business getting ready to shoot the final product off to CoderGeekBoy for uploading when, in the midst of a sense of publication relief, the phone rings.

Right. Not an email or a tweet, but an actual old-school phone call. It was from an HR person who wanted to know if the eBook includes these:

1. How do you gain sponsorship and support from top management?

2. If you can't, can you still have a "managers who coach" initiative and culture?

3. If the answer to #2 is "Yes", then how do you make that happen? And how can it happen without top management support. 

I thought about the deadline and being perceived as a weenie if I missed it. Then, I thought about the universality and usefulness of her questions. 

The result: I'm adding a section to respond to those questions. Rather than incur the late-night wrath of  CoderGeekBoy, we'll launch this puppy in the morning.

Note: I'm not sure that it took Cecil B. DeMille quite this long to direct The Ten Commandments. And Moses didn't have to format those tablets and covert them into good-looking .pdfs.

Steve -
I'm sure it's going to be worth the wait. This is so generous what you're doing for us. It's going to be an awesome resource, just what I've been looking for.
Now... can I have a pony?

Steve, I just saw the post on Kevine Eikenberry's site, congratulations on being named Top Leadership Blog for 2009! That's very impressive. Well deserved. Bravo.

Mary Jo,

You're a lot easier than Dan...I'm still looking for a pony.
