The leadership skills of the lad in the zig-zag shirt

You're a Leader, Charlie Brown coverComing in in November is You’re a Leader, Charlie Brown. I’m not sure of the contents of this hardcover gift book from the publisher Simple Truths, but it’s sure to be inspirational material on leadership – that’s the topic that the publisher specializes in.

Amazon thinks they know what the contents are; for some reason, they’ve linked this book to the Holt, Reinhart, Winston strip collection You’re You, Charlie Brown, showing that as the paperback edition of this book, putting old reviews of that book on this book’s page. That’s rather unlikely.

This would not be the first time that Peanuts has been used to teach good management skills, as unlikely as that seems. The Effective Executive According to Peanuts comes immediately to mind, an unlicensed strip collection privately printed volume of about a half a century back.

Anway, I’ve got my order in. I’ll let you know what it is, You’re You or not.
