The folks at Harvard Business Review told me that "How to Be a Good Boss in a Bad Economy" would be "sort of" the lead article in the June issue.  I am not entirely sure what that means, but I thank them for making it so prominent on their cover.  My initial reaction to the cover was to flinch as it is disconcerting, but as one CEO I know said, unfortunately, it is spot on because it reflects how so many people are feeling during these tough times.  I already blogged a bit about some of the themes developed in the article in Of Baboons and Bosses, and will put-up more thoughts over the next couple weeks.  Also, stay tuned because HBR will be sending me a link, I think next week, so I will be able to give away 100 copies, which I will do here as soon as I can. I haven't seen the issue, but I am a huge fan of both Rod Kramer, Joel Podolny, James O'Toole, and of course, the famous and charming Warren Bennis.  Also, I note that all four five of us live in California.  HBR has been accused of being overly disposed to publish articles from Harvard Business School faculty — perhaps they also have a pro-California bias!  Although Joel's last job was being a dean Yale, he is now at Apple, so is back in California.
