Rating: Summary: Maximizing on Change Review: ...For me, Ifound that this book useful to me as I'm implementing a new ERP at my place of business. I think it will be very useful way of explaining to our end users why we have to change from our Legacy system to our new ERP. It will also give us a common point of reference when refering to change in the future.For anyone thinking of buying this book I would say do it and share the book and its lessons with others.
Rating: Summary: Please Pass the Cheese Review: Who Moved My Cheese is a cute little work that contains a dehumanizing subtext, and its not just that Scratch n' Sniff or Scurry or whoever are mice. It's that the behavior touted for the mice is total passive acceptance of a maze (workplace, community, whatever)devoid of any accountability. The perfect little mouse simply dons his or her track shoes and disappears in the face of problems. Hey, who did move the cheese? Should it have been moved? What about awkward complications like hard work and value conflict and loyalty and pension obligations and digging for creative solutions where you are and continuity and community good. No problem. Anyone responsible for the cheese is freed of all obligation by cheerful little mice who just scurry off. (And hey, did someone we know starve; tough luck-we've got ours.) This is a dangerous, hasty little piece. The production values are even off. My edition contains a blatant, ironic typo. If you are going to pay this much for a handfull pages in really big type, you should at least get a spell check.
Rating: Summary: The best is yet to come Review: This book is powerful, insightful, inspiring and simple. It takes about an hour to read, and at first look you may not feel the punch. But a seed has been planted and once you put the book down, the message gets more strong and more relevant with each passing day. You'll want to share it with your co-workers and family - I did. Tie your sneakers around your neck and get ready to create your own future.
Rating: Summary: Quick read - great impact! Review: My brother-in-law sent this to my husband who set it on the dining room table. I picked it up and was immediately taken by the powerful simplicity of it all. It is currently required reading for my marketing department and I have shared it with other directors across the company as well as with my boss and his boss. You can't walk down the hallways without hearing cheese jokes! It's time to laugh at our situations so that we can implement changes for the future.
Rating: Summary: Its the Cheesiest! Review: I loved this book almost as much as i love cheese itself. (It may be better with a little mustard and some crackers.) Any young filmquestor should read this book before venturing out to "score" because its filled with so many words it HAS to be read! See you at the rendezvous! Peace in the Streets!
Rating: Summary: Not for me Review: Some people live to work and others work to live. This one must be for the former, because it is not for me. It belabors a simple point. In my opinion, move the cheese -- it stinks!
Rating: Summary: Help Direct Reports to Manage Culture Change Review: Our company took over an existing contract and people were resisting change (the typical fears of a transition). My Boss circulated this book amoung his direct reports and the attitude change was immediate. At our staff meetings someone always refers to the "cheese." This simple reading book has provided a uniting mechanism beyond anthing else we tried (team building, critical lists, coahcing). I would recommend any manager, who is moving into a different organization, provide this book to their "new" employees .
Rating: Summary: a great saturday adventure Review: this book offers a great story. the filmquest plot was amazing. the suspense had me turning pages faster than I could read them. pages 200-250 are a blur because the author's style of writing yanked my emotions right to page 251. if your quest is to find a good book to read this summer, i think you can score major points with this one. this book helped me rediscover my love for dairy...pick it up today!
Rating: Summary: Helpful Review: I learned a lot from this book which I purchased as a gift for my mother. I read it myself and I was amazed at how much of the information was applicable. I have recently returned, from the Marine Corps, to my accounting job. It was quite a change, needless to say. This book has helped me adapt and accept the new enviroment. It can help you in life, work or just to help with your goals. It only takes about an hour to read.
