Summary: Fish!
Review: Who are these Fish! guys? So much commonsense stuffed into such a small book. Truly simple - we know all this stuff but forget it's a choice. Fish! shows us HOW to choose our attitude. The authors' approach for me is refreshing. Being present and having fun while exceeding expectations...I'm all for it and will give my team copies as gifts then stand back to watch them "catch the engergy". This is a well written story which keeps your attention, challenges you, and moves you to action. I both laughed and cried by the time I finished. Don't miss this one.

Summary: Raw Fish!
Review: Books like these are almost offensive at first. They are so simple that it can begin as a frustrating experience. But much in the same manner as Who Moved My Cheese? or The One Minute Manager, I found myself being drawn into these simply profound truths. I enjoyed the raw authenticity of the people who worked at the fish market. It made me feel as if I was in Seattle witnessing the exhilarating fun that they create there. I loved the real life edge to the book and of course enjoyed the happy ending. More over, I was able to take some very practical applications back to the place I work. Thank you Fish!

Summary: It's about life!
Review: This is a brief, simple, but elegant book that is an eye opener for those of us who grew up with notions like: "Work is serious, let's have no fooling around!" or "Profit is 'the only' way to measure business success." The story is told in the context of a familiar business departmental crisis. Traditional management processes have failed and those who tried to implement change left convinced that conditions would never improve in that department (nicknamed the "Toxic Energy Dump"). A new departmental manager is assigned; she must find and implement new solutions or suffer the burden of defeat experienced by her predecessors. Serendipitously, during her lunch break, she discovers a fish market that does not fit preconceptions for that environment most of us would have, i.e., hard, tedious work under unpleasant, uncomfortable conditions. What she does experience is a group of people who are totally involved with their customers, having a lot of fun, and selling lots of fish! She asks one of the fishmongers about how they do this. And so begins the odyssey that uncovers the four key lessons she applies to turn her department around. I believe that these lessons are cornerstones for success both at work and in personal life. The lessons may seem simple and obvious, but they are based the deep needs we all have to feel that we matter, to contribute to others, and to enjoy our work. I attended the first "Fish Camp" in Minneapolis that Steve Lundin and his associates facilitated (they did a great job); I left with the lessons contained in this book. I have discussed these lessons with almost all of the executives I currently coach and have concluded, from their comments, that they both appreciate and apply these insights with success in their work/personal lives and settings. This book is a useful tool in helping people, and groups of people, reframe how they see their work; many discover that they can find enjoyment and satisfaction in their ordinary day-to-day work lives.

Review: Having just finished Fish! A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results, I felt compelled to write this review. Fish is a wonderful book that will motivate people to take pride in what they do. People like to work in an environment that is fun, energizing, uplifting, and where they can make a difference.

Summary: A Fish Story That's Real & Inspirational
Review: What does a "Toxic Energy Dump" and throwing fish have to do with life, especially performance in the workplace? A great deal according to the authors of The Fish. In this parable you learn very quickly and easily how to turn around a "toxic" environment. Although the solutions may sound simple and obvious, they remind us - that regardless of our position in an organization, it's a great thing to find enjoyment and satisfaction in our ordinary day-to-day work lives. The writers provide simple descriptions of what attitude and fun can do to turn around the "toxic energy dump" in the workplace. The fable and principles show you how to bring hope and excitement to the people who perform the "back room" functions. This book is a quick read, with principles that are easy to grasp and apply. Laughter and fun are great bridge builders between people - I encourage you to try The Fish and see how these principles are used to build bridges not only at a renowned fish market in Seattle, but between people within a back room department and other departments.

Summary: Simple yet true
Review: While the ideas seem to be relevent the story behind it is boring and cheesy. But what can you expect from a parable book? I think it is basically the same book that has been writen a hundred times before. I hear the movie is better, but I don't feel I wasted an hour of my life on a completely pointless book. I think the ideas of choosing an attitude and focusing on your customer can help anyone out in any kind of business. But did it need to be packaged in a $14 book?
