Name that book. That’s the challenge Ed Barks has issued to his clients, colleagues, and readers.
Barks is crowdsourcing the title of his forthcoming book, and has set up an online poll to gauge potential options.
“Colleagues suggested some titles and I came up with a few myself. It has been tough to decide, so it seemed a good idea to ask readers for their preferences,” Barks explained.
His new book focuses on communications strategy, providing a guide for communications and government relations executives who counsel their C-suite leaders. It is slated for publication later this year.
Voters are asked to pick the title they think will encourage communications and public affairs professionals to buy, read, and use the strategies outlined in the book. The candidates are:
- A+ Strategies for C-Suite Communications
- Communicate This! What to Say when the Message Matters
- Communication and Your Business Goals: The C-suite Leadership Guide
- How Business Leaders Learn: Strategic Communication Skills for the C-suite
- Turning C-suite Leaders into Communication Stars
In addition to these possibilities, those casting a ballot are able to write in a creative idea of their own.
“I wanted to find a way to give readers a stake in the outcome while spurring interest in the book,” Barks added. “What better way than voting for your favorite title.”
Balloting ends at the close of business on Tuesday, July 31, so readers are urged to register their opinions today at https://form.responster.com/opJAKL .
