Summary: Seuss-like Fun for the Workplace!
Review: Dr. Seuss was thought to have been a writer for children, but every parent knows that there was plenty of content to keep the adults amused, too. Someone obviously had an interesting idea in selecting those parts of Dr. Seuss's work that apply to organizations.The subjects covered include learning, setting goals, avoiding micromanagement, growth, surpassing competitors, cycles, speculation, chaos theory, the stock market, business trips, synergy, maintaining competitive advantage, synergy, delegating, corporate hierarchies, downsizing, innovation, and higher education. You may well remember some of the rhymes. The idea of getting Horton to sit on the egg in the delegating section brought back happy memories. The most apt rhyme to me was the one about having a watcher to watch a bee, because watched bees work harder. Except, of course, the bee did the same after it was watched as before. Each rhyme is wonderfully illustrated. A good use for this book would be to share the proper rhyme with a colleague who is getting it wrong. Humor is a good way to bust stalls. Enjoy!

Summary: Good old doctor seuss
Review: I was given this clever little book for my birthday last year (a gentle hint, perhaps, to get me on the right path?), and while I can't imagine paying [$$$] for it, that's about the only criticism I can dredge up. Anything by the good doctor is brilliant, of course. Anything he touches is magic. And we will always laugh. Highly recommended.

Summary: A Must Read for College Students
Review: In his whimsical childish style, Dr. Seus has done it again! His rhymes with the times and econominc health and what you want to do with your life, your MBA and all the fun things that intelligent (or not-so-intelligent) students need to know to get ahead in life and lead a healthy financial future. I had all of my students read this book in Lit 101 and do a book report for the class. I had 48 completely different takes on it and each student discovered something different. Highly recommneded for scholastic and for fun!

Summary: Seuss-like Fun for the Workplace!
Review: This book is marvelous and is both fun and educational in Seuss's classic rhyming style! It only left me wondering where the real "Grinch" or the corporate "Once-ler" really were among all the rhyming advice? Well, I finally found lots of those true-to-life "Grinch" and "Once-ler" like characters in the hilarious, educational and insightful satire, "MANAGEMENT BY VICE"!! With short, sharp verses, easy-to-read prose and a uniquely candid directness it addresses many important issues in both the R&D and corporate/managerial worlds! My sincere recommendation for MBA students and those struggling in the corporate mill is to memorize "Seuss-ism's for Success", yet never to forget the wise lessons in "Management by Vice" for they will help you avoid the tougher workplace pitfalls and make the changes that count and lead to greatly improved management/employee relations!
