In this book, Bill argues that two major trends have
completely transformed the way that chief executive
officers have to think of communicating—the rise of
shareholder activist coalitions, and the power of Internet-based communications. He contends that CEOs have to rethink the way they themselves and their entire organizations communicate. They need to shape both their message architecture and the playing field of ideas. To do anything less, Bill says, is to let others define their companys’ future.

The book was published on April 3, 2008, and is available in most large chain stores.
