But the best UX removes friction before the user even thinks to open a help article.Think about the iPhone, Google, or ChatGPT. Most of us did not curl up by the fireplace with a 400-page manual first. We just started using them.For CEOs thinking about writing a book, there is a lesson here too. Skip the 400-page rant piece and opt instead for a 140-page bestseller to onboard your audience to your ideas. Remember, less is more!Check out more such insights in my bestselling business book Wisdom From Wizards at: https://WisdomFromWizards.com/sListen to Wisdom From Wizards on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Audible, Castbox, iHeart, or your favorite podcast app.
