A fun activity I am squeezing into my schedule is writing a completely different style of book that we’ll be publishing later this year. This one has the working title (often not the final title) of Moose-on-the-Table: A Fable of Courageous Conversations in the Workplace.
This book is my first work of fiction. It’s a fable built around Pete Leonard, a struggling manager in an organization with a big moose problem (if you’re not familiar with my use of this metaphor and approach, go to the October 2004 issue of the Leader Letter).
I am having a blast writing it. I don’t have to verify facts, back up my statements with research, or accurately report on what happened. I can just make it up! What a freeing experience that is proving to be. I can’t wait to get it into reader’s hands for feedback on this new direction in my writing.

Hi Jim,
I can hardly wait to read your book. Out here the Moose is loose and on the table all over New Brunswick.
Keep the great work up and by the way, you are the best boss I ever worked with in my 45 years of working.

By one of the articles where you mentinoned the Moose story, I'm also anxious to read the new book!!
My English students also question me about the moose issue...I say it's going to be another BOOM by Mr. Clemmer!
May God enlighten you Jim!!
