Stephen Straus, who urged NACD to book the keynote, on how it landed — 'the line for his book signing was ridiculously long and lasted for hours'

A reader who finished the book over the summer emailed a contact at NACD to push for Eric on the mainstage, and was not the only one. He reports back from the room: an audience of corporate directors that might have been expected to bristle at a challenge to good-governance orthodoxy came out enthusiastic, and the signing queue ran for hours.

“I loved it so much that as soon as I finished it I reached out to a contact at NACD to urge them to consider inviting Eric to speak from the main stage, and apparently others did, as well!” — Stephen Straus on LinkedIn
