June 14th -- a beautiful Thursday night in Mequon, Wisconsin, and a wonderful crowd at the Next Chapter Book Store. Family, friends, colleagues, (yes, including people who worked for me) gathered to help celebrate the launch of "WORK HAPPY: WHAT GREAT BOSSES KNOW." The event was kicked off by Julie Moos, the editor of Poynter.org. She is the person who helped me develop the "What Great Bosses Know" columns and podcasts that led to the development of the book. Julie is a wonderful editor and beloved friend, so it was very special to have her fly to Wisconsin from St. Petersburg for the event. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the evening:
