Fish! Tales: Real-Life Stories to Help You Transform Your Workplace and Your Life

Rating:
Summary: Insightful!
Review: Things are going swimmingly in Fish! land. In the latest volume, Fish! Tales, authors Stephen C. Lundin, John Christensen, Harry Paul and Philip Strand build on the successful training program that evolved from their first Fish book. Tales shows how four companies - a long-distance call center; a hospital neural-renal unit, a car dealership and a roofing company - have applied Fish! theories effectively. They also provide short examples from other companies to show how well the Fish! function. The four main principles are familiar by now - keep the work fun, seek to serve others, stay focused on your customers and have an enthusiastic attitude - but the examples in the book bring them alive. Along the way, the authors heavily sell their Fish! courses and merchandise - that's just good salesmanship - but the real catch of the day is the final how-to section, showing ways to apply these principles in any organization. The lively writing style helps keep you hooked. We from getAbstract suggest that if you haven't yet caught any Fish!, start with this one. Its cheery, accessible methods should lure you in, hook, line and sinker.

Summary: No Need To Reel This One In
Review: Where's the beef? That is the question I asked myself when I was reading this book. 129 pages and the last few are set in a question and answer mode. Give me a break!!! I wanted a book--not some pieced together mush. I am throwing this one back.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: While the message is a good one, it nearly gets lost in this very poorly written book.

Summary: Fish Wrapper
Review: Yes, you can judge a book by its cover. Just as when a person tells a tall fish story this book also falls flat at the end. At least when you get a fish there is meat on the bone, but this "little" book is not worth the money or the time spent reading it.
