The NOW Revolution: 7 Shifts to Make Your Business Faster, Smarter and More Social

Acknowledgments

Each of us wrote almost precisely 50 percent of this book, and even though we are of one mind about The Now Revolution and its importance to business, we went to great lengths to make this book sound like it came from one voice. We have a high-stakes side bet to see if people can tell who wrote which chapters. Drop us a line at [e-mail] if you have a guess.

We have been incredibly fortunate to have a team of relentlessly encouraging collaborators who helped us tackle this project and push The Now Revolution across the finish line.
