This is the beginning of the long-promised series of changes and upgrades to “Slow Leadership.” I’ve also taken the opportunity to upgrade to Wordpress 3.5.
Please bear with me while I iron out the various bugs and glitches. I hope to have everything working properly by Monday, but, if not, then as soon as I can thereafter.
In case you missed them, here are the ten most popular posts to date on the “Slow Leadership” site, in descending order of popularity:
From now until mid-November, I will be away from my office on vacation. I’m not sure what Internet access I will have during that time, since I will sometimes be in fairly remote places. Besides, in line with what I preach to others, I intend to have a complete break from working on my blogs (and anything else).
I have arranged for the postings here to continue more or less as normal during my absence. However, I will not be moderating or responding to comments on any regular basis, so I apologize in advance if you post a comment and it doesn’t appear for some time.
When I return, things will go back to normal.

I’m very much aware of the error message that has suddenly started appearing in the Comments section of posts.
Sadly, being aware of it doesn’t mean I know how to cure it. Everything I have tried so far has failed.
I am still working on the problems, but if any reader knows what I need to do to get rid of it, I would be very grateful for advice!

Our mission here at Slow Leadership isn’t just about slowing down and creating a better work/life balance: it’s all about creating a more civilized world, at work and outside. That’s why we’ve decided to put our weight behind this initiative and help get everyone talking about a serious issue for a change.
The event is open to blogs of every variety and size. If you’d like to find out who is involved, who is behind the initiative and read through their list of FAQs, click here.
Better still, find out about getting your blog involved. Here’s how the organizers describe the event:
On October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind - the environment. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future.
Why not join us?
The response to my search for guest bloggers has been nearly all I could have wished for and next week will see the start of a short period of “trial” posts by each of those selected.
I am inviting you, our generous and loyal readership, to take part in this experiment by letting me know how you respond to each of the guests. To make this easy, I plan to set up a simple rating system against each article.
Look for the first article to appear next Monday, with others at 2-3 day intervals.
My only disappointment has been that no women offered to be guest bloggers.
I know there are many women who read Slow Leadership. The comments show that. So are none of you interested in taking part as a guest blogger? I am very much in favor of diversity, in thought as in person, and I do think it would be a distinct advantage to have a female voice amongst our authors.
It’s not too late, if you’re interested to submit an application. Just send an e-mail to authors@slowleadership.org.
