Thank you Jason: For those who might have missed the special offer:
As an OpenSource.com Ambassador I am very excited to announce the release of my book The Open Organization. A New Era of Leadership and Organizational Development - 2nd Edition. It is now available on Amazon here for US$30:? http://tiny.cc/uotzby. As a member of the OpenOrg List I am excited to provide this special earybird offer . A signed copy with FREE shipping within the United States at an introductory price of *US$22*. You can order your special copy here:? http://tiny.cc/l0tzby In 2014 I published what is thought to be the seminal work on the subject of Open Organizations. My goal was to present a text that provided a template for developing an Open Organization. Nearly a year after my book was published, Jim Whitehurst CEO or Red Hat published his book *The Open Organization. Igniting Passion and Performance.* What I love about Jim’s book aside from the cool title is that he approached the subject from his perspective as a leader leading an Open Organization. Jim’s book put skin on the idea of Open. I would argue that Jim humanized the concepts. It is one thing to write about an organization from a case study perspective and an entirely new experience when the writer is living it out in real time. Since the publication of my book, I have continued researching and writing on the subject of Open. I am proud to say that I am now an active member of the OpenSource.com group as an Ambassadors and Open Evangelist. Because the idea of an Open Organization is still evolving I felt it time to produce a 2nd edition of my book and address some of the changes. While most of the text remains the same and changes were mostly mechanical in nature, there are four major changes in this edition. They are: 1. The book is now in softback and the price is much more reasonable than the original text. $30.00 on Amazon. 2. More detail was added to Chapter 4 under the heading of *Meritocracy.* I begin to address some of the early challenges researchers have noted in *Meritocratic *organizations. 3. More detail was added under the heading of *Holacracy *in Chapter 4. Where in the early text I recognized Holacracy as a form of Open, I have since stepped back from that idea and no longer consider it to be a pure Open system. 4. In this text I begin to more deeply address the concepts of a distributed workforce. The implication of a growing distributed workforce is central to the expansion of the 21st century workforce. You might be wondering what comes next. I will continue to publish articles, blogs, and videos on the evolution of Open Organizations. I am also writing my next book which will focus in on some key elements of the 21st century organization. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
