The good news is that Wiley and Microsoft apparently want another book, this one on next-generation leadership. I am looking at teasing out some of the concepts from Chapter 6 of &lt;EM&gt;Generation Blend&lt;/EM&gt; regarding "Generation X-ecutive," and will shortly be looking for emerging leaders in the 30-45 age-bracket to interview about their attitudes toward change, management, technology, and work/life balance. Nominations are open. If you all have some ideas, please contact me.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm also working on another topic about the growing reach of collaboration technologies into non-knowledge-work environments, and how this might change business models and organizational cultures in blue collar industries. I'm presenting that one tomorrow, and if it's a go, it's going to be pretty busy around here through the end of the year!&lt;/P&gt;
