Rating: Summary: A Corporate Helper Review: Being a part of a multi-million dollar corporation involved in a change of mission and vision, I found this book, which takes about 45 minutes to read, a fresh perspective with ideas I couldn't put my finger on before. I'ts equally helpful for executives, sales, management, and support staff alike.

Rating: Summary: YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE Review: This delightful book points out that complacency causes us to settle for things that are not very good for us, such as easy access to our needs for the moment. Like the little pig who built his house of bricks, we are bettered prepared for the Big Bad Wolf if we think through how daily struggle can leave us more capable, more satisfied, and contributing more. In my work with CEOs, I find many people are working very hard to achieve things that are not very important to them, like money and greater size, while things that are important, like family and self-satisfaction, are under-served. This book reminded me of one of my favorite books for accomplishing much more, in less time, and more happily, THE 2,000 PERCENT SOLUTION. You should read both to enhance your life.
Rating: Summary: A brief allegory that could help some to rethink change Review: Spencer Johnson provides a story that could help reluctant people to reconsider their position about change and their assessment of it.While many may find it "overly simplistic", or "cute" I am anxious to share it with co-workers to determine if it will have any impact. At a minimun, it could serve as a focal point for an open discussion of change in our working environment.
Rating: Summary: Organizational change Review: This book was used as reading material prior to a business strategic planning session. Though there may be any new information, for the 40+ people in attendance, it certainly helped to set the stage for the work that needed to be accomplished. This book as value for not only those included in organaztional planning, but personal planning as well. What are we going to be when we grow up? Well worth the time!
Rating: Summary: Change and How To Deal With Review: This book helps all of us going through change realize that the imagined fear of what can happen is much worse than what actually does occur. A very fast book to read which leads to much more time spend in introspection of how you view change and why you are afraid of it and should not be.
Rating: Summary: A bit condescending! Review: While I understand the messages contained in this book are highly relevant, I found the story itself to be corny and the "discussion" even worse. The messages are right on, but that couldn't make up for the fact that I felt like I was in the third grade while reading it!
Rating: Summary: Pure Drivel Review: If you need any more proof we are doomed as a society, this is it. It's all of 94 pages long with a retail price of $19.95. That gives you an indication of what corporate publishers think of our ability to make good decisions. This drivel offers up advice such as, "The more important your cheese is to you the more you want to hold on to it." Wow! Words from Sinai! The authors co-wrote "The One Minute Manager." This should give you a hint--they only have about 30 seconds of sound advice each.
