The Kindle version of the book is now available for pre-order via Amazon (and you can see the front cover there). The book will also be available in paperback, hardcover, and audiobook formats. You can view the full print edition cover design here.

In the live event, host Elisabeth Swan (author of the new book Picture Yourself a Leader) and I will discuss the collaborative and iterative process that I went through with the cover designer.

I'll show the artist's original concept sketches and how our selected cover went through many rounds of iteration and improvement.

Elisabeth and I will talk about iteration as authors and publishers and I'm sure we will talk more broadly about the power of iteration in the workplace, for continuous improvement or innovation. We'll also take live questions from the audience…
