There's a book about this stuff?

Yup. 80,000 words. It will soon be shopped to publishers.

A business book?

My focus is on business lessons we can learn from rock & roll bands. The book identifies six ways in which the great bands are exceptional business teams:

• They're radical innovators.
• They're passionate and inspired about their work—and they have fun.
• They manage differences and capitalize on conflict.
• They have a distinct personality, identity, and brand.
• They're ambitious, focused, and result-driven, despite stereotypes to the contrary.
• They're self-determined and independent-minded.

Then I show how to instill—or liberate—these abilities in our organizational teams.

And I argue that without an infusion of these qualities many of our beleaguered organizations and institutions, ill-equipped to compete in a disruptive global economy, are headed for obsolescence or irrelevance!

To keep it interesting I illustrate my points with stories and anecdotes from boardrooms, bars, and recording studios. It will be a business book you can dance to.
