The NEW Community Manager Handbook started as a series of twenty-one interviews with community leaders from organizations like Analog Devices, Inc, Easterseals, Microsoft, PTC Software, the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, the World Bank Group, and many more.
The conversations, led by Anne Mbugua, were amazing.
Anne is an incredible interviewer, by which I really mean she is an amazing listener. Playing the recordings back we realized they need to be more than podcasts – and ta-da, the NEW Community Manager Handbook was born.
When we published the first Community Manager Handbook in 2015 the community space, and the world looked really different. Not many people worked from home regularly. The technology landscape was really different. The world wasn’t sold on the idea of asynchronous learning or collaboration.
And, frankly, there was not enough emphasis on the importance of things like accessibility and diversity, equity, and inclusion in both community spaces and overall organizational awareness.
