Friday Forward: 52 Weeks of Inspiration
CEO and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Robert Glazer has a new book out September 1, Friday Forward: a curated collection of 52 inspirational stories featuring leadership lessons from high-achievers like Tim Ferriss, Ed Sheeran, Ann Miura-Ko and Adam Grant. The book is built off Bob’s newsletter of the same name, which started as an email to his team of 40 people at Acceleration Partners and has grown to an international readership of over 200,000 people in 60 countries. Bob offers a wealth of knowledge about how leaders can get the most out of their teams and keep the people they lead connected and motivated to learn and grow. Friday Forward is endorsed by Adam Grant, Alan Mulally, Whitney Johnson, Dan Pink, Liz Wiseman and others. Bob is celebrating the launch with a global virtual launch event on Wednesday, September 2nd, where he’ll chat with four of the leaders featured in the book about the story behind their Friday Forward: Hal Elrod, Ann Miura-Ko, Dandapani and Sean Swarner. Join the event at either of the two showings:
Option One: Wednesday, September 2 at 10 am EDT
Option Two: Wednesday, September 2 at 8 pm EDT
How To Make Virtual Teams Work
While preparing to launch Friday Forward, Bob wrote and published a second book in just 90 days. Bob and his team at Acceleration Partners have been working remotely since 2007, and they’ve won dozens of best places to work awards in the process. Now, as more businesses than ever are working remotely, Bob is sharing the playbook to adapt to the virtual workplace and thrive in the process. How To Make Virtual Teams Work is now available in E-Book in North America, and offers the principles, tactics and tools needed to help lead the remote work revolution. Here is a confidential PDF of the book, if you’d like a free sneak peek. https://accelerationpartners.egnyte.com/dl/HVxBmgpc4E/

Hubert Joly, ce Français qui coache les patrons américains (Frenchman coaches Americans)
Enjoy this delightful article in Les Echo about Hubert. Distinguished as one of the most remarkable business leaders on the other side of the Atlantic, this Frenchman of origin gave up at the age of 60 any operational role within Best Buy in favor of teaching at Harvard and coaching. From New York, this young “retiree” gives us the foundations of his vision of more humanistic management in line with the expectations of contemporary society. https://www.lesechos.fr/weekend/business-story/hubert-joly-ce-francais-qui-coache-les-patrons-americains-1237373 (google translate is pretty good if you need it)
And, as always, thank you, Marshall, for making all of this possible
With love and gratitude
