MediaProjectWorkHappyHow's this for a great photo?  It was taken recently in Bangkok, Thailand. These are journalists from around the world, selected by The Media Project as leadership and coaching fellows.

They were selected for their accomplishments in their craft and their dedication to helping others build their own skills.  They spent a week in 2012 at the Poynter Institute, where I was delighted to lead their workshop.  We focused on collaboration, coaching, conflict resolution, feedback -- all designed to enhance their formal and informal leadership.

The Fellows represent leadership around the world, from Bhutan to Ghana to Chile to the Phillippines to Romania to China to Canada -- and more.

At that time, "WORK HAPPY: WHAT GREAT BOSSES KNOW" had not yet been released.  This year, when the group met for a followup gathering in Bangkok, each Fellow in attendance was given a copy of the book.  I inscribed a custom bookplate for each copy.  This is the lovely photo they shared -- and I guarantee it made my day!  I messaged them back that it was clear: leadership is in good hands!
