Ken recently discussed how to practice a thoughtleading strategy with members of Connections, a business networking group in Concord MA. Each member of the group received a free copy of Ken’s book The Expert’s Edge: Become the Go-To Authority People Turn to Every Time (McGraw-Hill), which in 2011 climbed to #8 on Amazon’s Business Leadership list.
