Hello Steve!
Despite being more literal it sounds nice too. I’m quite sure it will be a success. When will we see it in the bookstores?
Meanwhile, I’m really looking forward for our “little gift”… aren’t you Lizanne?

Thanks
Miguel

Thanks everyone for your great suggestions. In the end, the publisher chose this one:

“The Playing Card Tool for Driving High-Performance Teamwork and Innovation”

They wanted it to be clear that this is primarily a business book. So they emphasized teamwork and innovation.

Lizanne and Miguel, your suggestions were the closest. Therefore I will be sending you a little gift for your contribution.

Thanks!

Stephen,

It’s probably just me, but I would scrap the word PERSONALITY in the title. The word PERSONALITY doesn’t give off the right vibes. Wimpy?

Just call it something like…TEAM POKER, Finding and Using Your Own Personal Style in the Business World Through Poker

PS: I have four poker books currently in the works (who knows if they’ll ever be published?). And I have probably the largest poker and gambling quote collection in the world (over 14,000?) Let me know if you need any of these quotes to enhance the book here and there (the start of each chapter?). I would be glad, for free, to send you some. Just give me a subject or chapter heading and I’ll see what I have. I do this free for a lot of authors, mostly gambling gurus.

Probably it is too late and I didn’t read if they are already in the table:
-Personality poker:a game you need to play to win in innovation
-Personality poker: play your way to innovation
-Personality poker: playing for a ‘Full-House’ innovation
-Personality poker: find the cards you need for innovation
-Personality poker: how to deal the cards in the innovation ‘game’
-Personality poker: the secret for a ‘Full-House’ innovation
-Personality poker: the secrets to win in the innovation ‘casino’

Thanks a lot
Miguel

I like all of the ideas! I’ll be forwarding this on to the publisher.
