I got a couple very nice emails in the last 24 hours asking if I was OK because I had not posted in about a month. I appreciate the concern, and was actually quite shocked to realize that it had been so long. The reason I have not been posting is that I have been hyper-focused on getting a complete draft of my next book done. For better or worse, when I get close to finishing something like that, I get so obsessed that I don't even realize how much I ignore other things. I am happy to report that, on just Tuesday, I sent a complete draft to my editor, and while it will still need some work, it is getting pretty close to being done.
I will write about the book more here, and let you know the title soon (we are close to settling on it, but not quite). And given the strangeness of publishing, the book isn't scheduled to come out until September 2010. They are also talking about linking the publication of the paperback edition of The No Asshole Rule to that launch, which sounds kind of fun to me. But one thing I would like to say is that, in writing the book, I kept finding that the comments you all wrote on my blog and sent me in emails had a big impact on my understanding of what the best and worst bosses do, and also provided some fantastic examples (like this one) for the book. So although I have not been blogging, I have been thinking of the folks who read this blog and write on it a lot.
I expect to get back to blogging regularly again in the next week or so, and once again, thanks for the concern and for all you have taught me.
Bob
