Hey everyone…with great excitement and more than a little terror i’m announcing that I’ve published the first “Cranky Middle Manager” e-book. It’s called “Meet Like You Mean It”- a Cranky Middle Manager’s Guide to Productive and Painless Meetings”.

The greatest praise and the biggest criticism I’ve heard are the same thing- it reads like the show sounds. One person called it “Stanley Bing meets the Training Manual”. Hopefully you’ll laugh, you’ll definitely recognize yourself and others, and you’ll find valuable tips for making your meetings less agonizing for you and your team.

It’s available now for download at the CMM store on my website, http://www.achismarketing.com/Meetlikeyoumeanit.html.  The cost is $7.97US, which if you figure the cost of a bad meeting, shows ROI pretty darn quickly.

This is the first in a series of books that will take the lessons learned on the show and turn it into entertaining, practical modules for you and your teams.  I look forward to your feedback- good bad or ugly.

Thanks to listeners Katy Whitton, Bob Sileo and Michael Schaffer for being my focus group. Don’t blame them.
