### Editor's Note ### Well, folks, today is the day! It's the release of _The Open Organization Leaders Manual, Second Edition_!
This awesome community has been working on this book since April [1]. The result of this months-long collaboration is a completely overhauled volume of more than 200 pages—an invaluable resource for anyone seeking advice on becoming a more open leader [2]. To celebrate the release, we're publishing Jen Kelchner's excellent introduction to the _Leaders Manual_. Jen powerfully situates the book as a resource for confronting the "existential crisis" that is digital transformation. Pass this along to anyone needing some persuasion to pick up a copy of the new edition. To watch the Open Organization book series grow—bit by bit, year by year—is to observe a perfect case study in the power of community. Thanks for everyone who not only contributed to the book but continues to make this group so amazing in so many ways. Happy reading! –B ---- [1] https://opensource.com/open-organization/18/4/write-leaders-manual-second-edition [2] https://opensource.com/open-organization/resources/leaders-manual ### New Today ### Jen Kelchner: "Companies behind on digital transformation get ahead with open leaders" https://opensource.com/open-organization/18/12/digital-transformation-existential red.ht/2SmHaTn Sample social media: Companies behind on digital transformation get ahead with open leaders, by @jenkelchner: red.ht/2SmHaTn #TheOpenOrg #leadership "Change needn't be difficult.
