The Washington Board of Trade has extended its member price, $75, to We Media members. That includes breakfast and a signed copy of Alan’s new book, Rules of Thumb: 52 Truths for Winning at Business Without Losing Your Self.
Alan co-founded Fast Company after spending six years as the managing editor/editorial director of the Harvard Business Review. His new book is a catalog of insights gleaned from years of conversations with successful business leaders. Here’s one: Don’t implement solutions. Prevent problems. More here.
Alan is also a long-time friend and participant in numerous We Media events over the years – most recently as a judge for the 2009 We Media Game Changers Awards. He’s also a board member of iFOCOS, the media think-and-action tank Dale Peskin and I founded in 2006. And, besides all that, Alan’s a genuinely warm and inspiring guy – two qualities that you can hear in his writing, and more so in person. Here’s a book excerpt published by 4-Hour Workweek author Tim Ferris, and here’s a recent video of Alan speaking at Google.
The other guy in the conversation is equally fascinating. Dan Pink’s books include The New York Times best-seller A Whole New Mind, Free Agent Nation, and the graphic Adventures of Johnny Bunko.
