Hi, it’s a different sort of article this week. I just wanted you to know how well FED is doing and to thank you for your support. A marker of how far FED is spreading is that last week Leadership Plain and Simple became Amazon UK’s number one book on leadership. If you’ve not looked on the site (amazon.co.uk), you’ll enjoy reading some of the 23 five star reviews. Indeed, if you have an Amazon account please go on and add another, you don’t need to buy a book.

At the same time, it’s great that we’ve been adopted by The Marketing Society who are recommending us to all their members. Together with them, we’ve created Leadership Central (Marketing Society) where we post weekly articles about FED. And I’m looking forward to speaking at their annual conference on November 18 alongside some pretty impressive leaders (Marketing Society conference).

Next, we’ll be offering some workshops that you might want to come to or recommend to others so they get a taste of FED. I’ll run 3 one-day FED workshops in London on September 6, 16 and 22. There’ll be a small group for senior leaders, another one for emerging leaders and a big group for anyone. There’ll be more details on the site soon.

Otherwise, thanks again for your support of FED. You’ll have seen more people writing pieces for the site.

And finally, this photo is crying out for a caption! If only he’d listened! What’s your caption?

Have a good week, Steve
