Last year I had the opportunity to participate in writing a collaborative E-book called Do Amazing Things in 2010.  It was a project I was proud of because it allowed me to share my ideas and visions of how to move HR forward, or business in general, along side respected authors and HR professionals.  The idea was the brainchild of Chris Ferdinandi of RenegadeHR.net.

Do Amazing Things is a collection of short, actionable ideas – things you can do in 2011 to become a better HR professional.  It features ideas and insights from 21 of HR’s leading thinkers and doers. There are some clear trends: Collaboration. Innovation. Passion. Growth.

Chris approached a group again this year and I decided to take on the challenge once again.  I encourage you to read last year’s book if you haven’t already.  And, please head over to Chris’ site today to read and/or download your free copy of Do Amazing Things in 2011. Thanks to Chris for including me with so many talented writers and thinkers!

The great thing about writing is it has given me opportunities to collaborate with many cutting-edge HR professionals I would never had the opportunity to work with.  Today is no exception.

Chris Ferdinandi of Renegade HR came up with an idea for an e-book called ‘Do Amazing Things- Things you can do to become a better HR pro in 2010′.  He then pulled together a group of outstanding HR professionals to contribute to the project.  Authors include:

• China Miner Gorman from SHRM
• Michael VanDervort from Human Race Horses
• Lance Haun from Rehaul
• Karla Porter from the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber in PA
• Paul Hebert from I2I
• Jim D’Amico, recruiter extraordinaire
• Victorio Milian of Creative Chaos Consultant
• Ben Eubanks from UpstartHR
• Steve Boese from Knowledge Infusion
• Nathaniel Rottenberg from Rypple
• Trish McFarlane from HR Ringleader
• Jessica Lee from APCO Worldwide

So, check out our new book today on Renegade HR and let us know what you think! I’ll also be posting it here on my site later in the week.
