Buy the book

Navigating senior management, and discovering the secrets of "The Office's" success, along with the valuable lessons learned along the way.

The book, "Paper to Power: The Office Odyssey," took a whopping four years to write. After the first two years, I had a draft ready to go, but then I launched a newsletter focusing on the economy, international companies, and interviews. It made me realize my book had gaps, so the past two years were spent rewriting and honing each chapter. Like a fine wine, it's getting better with time!
