The formal part of it wasn't that interesting to me.
So when people say, I want to be an author, I'm going to say, well, just love the writing process and the coming up with stuff, and then it'll take care of itself.
But the first book sold more than people thought it would, but it wasn't like crazy.
It's called The Five Temptations of a CEO.
And it's the most allegorical.
When people read it, it's the most like fable-ish.
And then I wasn't going to write another one.
And they said, yeah, you should write another one.
And so I wrote the one which was really a fable about what we did in our business.
And readers were reading it and saying, the first book, and they said, this applies to teams we think too.
So that's when I wrote the five dysfunctions of a team based on my work with CEOs and teams.
And that one took off, but not right out of the gate.
None of my books take off right out of the gate.
It's usually word of mouth and they slowly build over time.
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm not that excited about books going forward.
No, I love books.
But I think that in the last even 10 years, forget in my lifetime, in the last 10 years, people's attention spans have gotten so short.
And we can curse that because it's bad.
And I get that.
I don't think it's necessarily good, but it is what it is.
