Hour-long interview with Michael Krasny on FORUM

Here’s an interview with Michael Krasny from this week.   I’ve always been impressed with what Michael is able to do with this format.  It’s one of the most in-depth opportunities that you get to spell out ideas.  This is actually the fifth time I’ve done his show, and each time I find the audience questions challenging.

Strategy for Sustainability is the 3rd-bestselling Biz Strategy Book on Amazon.com

The book is now available at independent bookstores across the US as well as in airports.

Online, the book is having a terrific launch with great support from Walmart.com, Amazon and Barnes and Noble.   I was just informed that it’s the 3rd bestselling business strategy book on Amazon.com, following Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers and Good to Great by Jim Collins and Jerry Porras.

That’s wonderful company.
