Comments on: Talking Strategy Manifesto http://www.madetostick.com/blog/2007/02/12/talking-strategy-manifesto/ Made to Stick Blog by Dan and Chip Heath Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:45:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: andyrowell94 http://www.madetostick.com/blog/2007/02/12/talking-strategy-manifesto/#comment-37 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 03:44:54 +0000 http://www.madetostick.com/blog/2007/02/12/talking-strategy-manifesto/#comment-37 I love the Manifesto PDF. Outstanding content and a great layout. I will recommend it and pass it to people. Thanks for introducing yourself to me this way. My friend Tim Stevens is reading your book. Two little comments: you mention college professors and ministers as the typical one-way communicators. I am a college professor of preaching and am trying to combat those realities in the pulpit and classroom. It is good to hear your description of the problem in the business context. One other tiny comment: I will summarize it this way. "Streamline your commenting process." You are probably not getting many comments on your blog because it is a pain to comment. Here are the seven steps I navigated to leave a comment. 1) Get your comment rejected because you are not logged in correctly. Try it again. Nope. 2) Figure out how to login. 3) Figure out that your normal WordPress login will not work. No, you need to get a new WordPress login just for this blog. 4) "Register for this blog" by giving my email address to be sent a password. 5) Go to my email and find my new random password. 6) Go back in and log in to your blog. 7) Then put my name, email and comment. Whew. It takes a hearty commenter to make comments on this blog. I've never seen anything like it. All the best. I love the Manifesto PDF. Outstanding content and a great layout.

All the best.

I appreciate, incidentally, the landscape layout. Once I've properly sized my Acrobat Reader window on my laptop, I don't need to scroll to read the entire page. This kind of "trivial stuff" can contribute to turning "ho-hum" into pure pleasure -- a concept which Apple, for instance, has built into its genes. (Microsoft, it seems, wil never "get it.")
