Summary: What Winning Ways Said to me
Review: This book told me that being an independant person isn't always the way to get a job done. By taking the time to work with others,your coming up with different and new ideas on how to accomplish a project. Your not only going to get the job done quicker and more accurately but you'll have fun doing it to!Your actually getting an opportunity of a lifetime, working with people that truly appreciates your input and having others back you up. Working as a team makes your job more simple and fun!! On a personal note I always used to think that my ideas were the right way and that I knew the way to go about doing things, and whenever someone would question my actions I would find myself getting defensive. After reading this book, it showed me that stepping back and actually listening to other peoples input that yes my idea was alright but, hey putting my ideas with theres will just make things come out in the end bigger & better. By talking things out first with others rather than jumping into something your getting feed back and that truly feels rewarding and refreshing. This book taught me alot and I would definately recommend that companies sit down and read this together and learn that team work is the way to go and everyones opinions truly matter!!!

Summary: What a Gem !
Review: This book truly sparkles from beginning to end. The lessons it teaches (most notably the four secrets for getting great results working well with others), are priceless.I've created quite a buzz this past week by giving copies of the book to everyone on my team. All of them absolutely rave about how much they enjoyed the story and how useful they feel the lessons are. We've decided to establish the four secrets as norms in our group that we will all try to follow. It's been awhile since we've had something create this much collective energy. I highly recommend this book to everyone who works with other people, which I guess is everyone. Simple stated, it's a great book with a powerful set of messages that are easy to absorb and retain.

Summary: Winning Ways Plus Two
Review: WINNING WAYS is a superb parable that will give you more power -- more power to influence others, more power to get your ideas accepted, more power to produce better short and long term results with people, and the power you need to boost your personal and career effectiveness. All of this without being manipulative or phony, while enhancing the dignity of others and fostering a climate of personal respect for everyone around you, including you. If it were possible to award this book more than five stars, I would without hesitation give it the highest rating possible. Two other books that are in this same league, while addressing complementary subject matter, are FISH and HIGH FIVE. All three books come out of the Ken Blanchard consortium of best selling authors, and all three are more than worth the money. FISH shows how to have fun at work, and HIGH FIVE gives insights into effective teamwork. Combine that with the strategies for interpersonal effectiveness that are presented in WINNING WAYS and you have the most powerful winning trilogy available today.

Summary: A phenomenal book destined to be a classic.
Review: Winning Ways is one of those truly unique books that grabs you and won't let you go. It's one of the few books I've ever read where I actually remembered the lessons the next day. In this case the lessons are four incredibly powerful "secrets" anyone can use to be more effective in their dealings with other people. The lessons are presented in the form of a very entertaining parable with characters we can all relate to. The simplicity, combined with the power, of this book's message make it one everyone should read. After reading it, I put it down for a moment, and said "Wow." Not only can I use these ideas, but if I do and others do as well, the world will be a much better place. Then I immediately thought of three friends I couldn't wait to share it with. Thanks, Dick Lyles, for giving us such a powerful message in such an entertaining way.
