Earlier this year, I reviewed Your Inner CEO, by Allan Cox. In the course of that, I’ve actually had the pleasure of meeting Allan and getting to know him. I think it was Ross Mayfield of SocialText who introduced us. Allan is an existence proof that nice guys can be very successful.
One of the things I’ve been helping Allan with is understanding how new technology tools can help him get his ideas out there. One thing we’ve come up with is to make use of the great social media tools at Ning to support a community of those interested in the ideas in the book and in Allan’s work. To wit, here’s an announcement from Allan of an online book group for the book.
Greetings, READERS!
A few people in the Your Inner CEO Community (yes, there is one) have been lobbying for the launch of an online study group for the book itself: Your Inner CEO. In the beginning I wondered about the practicality and “doability” of it and then after pondering the idea for a couple of months became enthusiastic about it.
So we’re doing it! We’re going to do the book as an online reading group, much as many of you have no doubt done in reading groups among friends in each other’s living rooms or some sort of community facility. We won’t be face-to-face, of course, but we’ll go at our own pace and cover whatever we deem important at the time. I’m confident we’ll deepen our relationships and open up and deal with subjects, over not too long a time, in a spirit of trust and candor. I look forward to participating fully in this with you.
The day of the launch is—you guessed it—TODAY! Come explore. Find out more at the link below. As a heads up, newcomers will have to sign in to participate.

All the best,
Allan Cox
What makes this interesting to me, and accounts for why I’ve made time to work on it, is that Allan has committed to work with the group and participate fully. Moreover, he’s brought along a number of his friends and colleagues from his work. These are some seriously smart and senior folks who are all thinking about the importance of leadership in today’s complex world and how to get better at it.
Get yourself a copy of the book, find your way over to the Your Inner CEO ning space, sign up, and join in. I think we’ll all find it an excellent return on our attention.
