I just finished reading the commentary article, “The Quiet Struggle,” written anonymously by a manager struggling with alcoholism addiction that was published in the November 2013 PM. It was fantastic.

Has PM magazine considered collecting anonymous essays on a regular basis? From my own personal observations, we managers are a rather reserved lot and prone to spin things in a positive light if possible. To read an article like this was an incredible insight into what goes on when life gets real.

Again—personally—I find this kind of uncensored, non-self-aggrandizing autobiographical content to be incredibly compelling. Great decision on running it in the magazine, and my thanks to the author for writing it. Hopefully, there will be more content along these lines in the future.
