### Editor's Note ### Today is a great day, folks. First, it's the debut of a new column, "In the Open," from Jen Kelchner. Every month, Jen will bring us new insights and perspectives on the future of leadership as she builds an open team from the ground up. It's going to be great. The first installment is incredible: A detailed account of a team's (mis)communication practices.
Second, today we're announcing the _Open Organization Leaders Manual_, our third companion to _The Open Organization_. It's live now, and ready for download and paperback purchase (at cost). We're thrilled with the project—a 100-page book featuring writing from our community members, including the open organization ambassadors. Thank you, everyone, for your contributions! Please circulate and share as appropriate today! ### Content Update ### New today: Jen Kelchner: "Why your teams may be failing at the collaboration game" https://opensource.com/open-organization/16/12/failing-collaboration-game Bryan Behrenshausen: "Now available: The Open Organization Leaders Manual" https://opensource.com/article/16/12/now-available-open-organization-leaders-manual Previously published: Wesley Duffy-Braun: "Finding crucial answers requires open decision making" https://opensource.com/open-organization/16/12/make-open-decisions-more-ethical-choices First day page views: 93 The Open Organization: "Today's #OpenOrgChat: A year in review" https://opensource.com/article/16/12/todays-openorgchat-year-review First day page views: 50 ### Site Stats ### Page views yesterday: 422 Total page views for the month: 1,801 Field Guide downloads: 0 Total Field Guide downloads for the month: 0 Catalyst-In-Chief downloads: 0 Total Catalyst-In-Chief downloads for the month: 0 **NEW CATEGORY** Leaders Manual downloads: 2 Leaders Manual downloads for the month: 2 **NEW CATEGORY** ### Social Media Stats ### @TheOpenOrg Twitter followers: 3,424 (+9) @JWhitehurst Twitter followers: 14,230 (+9) Facebook likes: 512 (+) ### TheOpenOrg Resources ### Metrics spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/196RzNrhAiHRBcZHtrDYYKy0I9m8Bqa67K9OOPbDxuME/edit?pli=1#gid=46325027 _______________________________________________ Openorg-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/openorg-list
