Gifting LeanPub Books

Christmas is the season for giving. Maybe you know of someone who would appreciate one of my Organisational Psychotherapy books as a gift this Christmas? Or maybe all three in the series?

Why Give an Organisational Psychotherapy book? 

I guess the most likely recipient might be your boss or manager, or maybe a colleague or friend at work. You might gift a book to them as a quiet hint that things could be better, or perhaps you know they’re already looking for fresh ideas to make things better in the organisation. And if they do pick up on some of the many fresh ideas in my books, then maybe “better” might mean better for you and your teammates, too. 

Also, gifting an Organisational Psychotherapy book might serve to signal your enthusiasm for seeing the organisation improve. (Yes, I know, unlikely for most employees these days, but maybe you’re that special one?)

Which Book Might I Gift?

I guess it depends on your idea of what the giftee might best need:

If they might need ideas on accelerating the pace of change in their organisation, especially the pace of culture change, then Hearts over Diamonds would be a good choice.

If they most need a catalyst for getting change started, via e.g. surfacing and reflecting on the organisation’s collective assumptions and beliefs, then Memeology‘s the thing.

And if their most pressing need is a blueprint – or map – of what a highly effective (software) development organisation looks like and works like, then I’d suggest Quintessence.
