James Lukaszewski and Helio Fred Garcia collaborated on a new edition of Lukaszewski's book after a chance conversation. Wiley published it under the new title "Influencing Leaders: The 7 Disciplines of the Trusted Strategic Advisor" and marketed it as a first edition rather than a revision.
Well, it's one of those— really, the truth is, it's one of those happy accidents in life. I was visiting Fred on another matter, and I've been working on this book for some time, and I just happened to mention I was really interested in putting out a new edition, one that focused more on being an influencer as well as being a trusted advisor. And I said, you know, I'd, uh, it would be, uh, I'm just working on it. And without hesitation, Fred said, I'm gonna help you with this. And it was go from there.
It took us a while to get the manuscript written, but then it took us a while to get the publisher to agree to publish a new book as a second edition. And the consequence is The same publisher, Wiley, who had published the first book, has chosen to publish the updated version under a new title, Influencing Leaders: The 7 Disciplines of the Trusted Strategic Advisor.
As a first edition?
As a first edition.
