Articles & Columns
Welcome to the online home of best-selling business author Peter Economy.
Not only do I write books, but I also write magazine articles and columns -- lots and lots of them.  While I enjoy doing both (I just love to write!), there's something particularly satisfying about seeing your article in print a few weeks after writing it (versus the several-month lag between writing a book and seeing it on a shelf at your local Barnes & Noble).

Leader to Leader...

Leader to Leader magazineAs Associate Editor for Leader to Leader magazine, a position I've served in for more than six years now, I've had the honor to work with some very interesting people on some very interesting articles over the years -- people like Jim Collins, Jean Lipman-Blumen, Peter Senge, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Gary Hirshberg at Stonyfield Farm, and of course my personal friend and hero Frances Hesselbein.  Here are a few sample articles on which I worked:

Magazine Articles...

Philippe Kahn racing PegasusI've written bunches and bunches of magazine articles -- for a wide variety of traditionally published and online publications -- few of which I can track down on the Internet (or, in the case of ghostwritten articles, that I can publicly admit to). The ones I can track down on the Internet (for example, "The Mighty Kahn" for Sailing World, and "Buddy System" for the Gallup Management Journal) keep changing their Web addresses, so it's a challenge keeping up with them.

Columns...

Once upon a time, there was a nice little online periodical named 1099, the magazine for independent professionals and consultants.  Unfortunately, 1099 is no more, having joined the ranks of the dot-bombs a number of years ago.  Fortunately, the site is being maintained (albeit in suspended animation) by parent company Aquent.
