Have you read “You can’t apologize to a Dawg?” If so you can do Tucker a favor by going to Amazon.com and writing a review of it. This invitation isn’t a plea for you to shill for it but rather a request than you write your honest reaction to it. And you don’t have to be a professional writer to review it. These reviews are for ordinary folks like you and me to make comments and to share their opinions.
You have the chance to be the first reviewer, but even if you miss that opportunity, the more reviews it gets the better. It’s a way you can lend a hand to the promotion of Tucker’s book and help others decide whether they should buy it.
This coming Monday, the 19th, Tucker will be interviewed about his new book on WBIR’s Live at Five show. If you are in the Knoxville area, get your DVRs and VCRs ready. For those of you who live somewhere other than in the center of the universe, you can check out WBIR’s website afterwards to see if they have the good sense to make a video of his appearance available via the web.
I and a couple of other folks are trying to help another friend promote his new book and his new career as a speaker. I’ve known him for 35 years as a good organizational change consultant; it is only recently that he has established himself as a writer.
His strength is his wonderful sense of humor and his ability to remember stories about people that he grew up with in North Georgia. He is the real deal—straightforward, direct, and capable of seeing the light side of any situation.
His stories are entertaining. In his book, he links the stories of his rural experience with salient points about leadership and managing people. The refreshing thing about the book is that it is short, entertaining and his points about leadership are clear and intuitive.
I can’t think of anyone who would not be entertained and informed by Tucker’s book. As a speaker, he comes across like Will Rogers—folksy, but intelligent and insightful. I expect the book You Can’t Apologize to a Dawg to become a big seller and, if we are successful in promoting him, Tucker will be speaking at a great many management conferences and annual meetings.
With the site registration and set up complete, the task is now to find a look that we like and begin adding some content. We need to update the “about” page that gives more information about the Top Dawg himself.
The more I think about it, the title of this post is actually the whole purpose of this site.
