Review: Read this book, learn the rules of Gung Ho, and be happy! This book preaches ideas that are incredibly simple, yet profound. Anyone that can read should pick up a copy, especially if you hate going to the same boring, mundane officeplace day after day where work is long, tedious, and monotonous and the amount of enthusiasm present is so low that it goes into the negatives. Good luck on your soon-to-end quest for happiness at work!

Summary: motivation is the key
Review: Gung Ho! is a great example of the power of motivation. Attitude is what gets people into what they're doing. It seems like an easy concept to grasp..."if people like what they're doing, more will get done." The hard part is getting everyone to like what they're doing. Gung Ho! is a great book to read just to know how to get motivation into any walk of life. Motivation is the key to getting a job done well, and efficiently.

Summary: Simple, yet effective
Review: Gung Ho! is a simple book that outlines three basic techniques that are very levelheaded. They're almost common sense in a way. If people participate in deciding goals they'll be much more likely to work towards them. If people are given more control over what they need to do, people will feel like they're accomplishing their own challenges. If people are verbally congratulated about their work, they will feel better about themselves and have higher moral.Overall, it was an easy read and provides sound advice. I recommend it to those who want quick management tips.

Summary: Gung Ho!!!
Review: Gung Ho! Are the type books that can really affect the progress of a business. By the power of Gung Ho! You can actually increase the development of your company. This book teaches the reader how a single business can't succeed with a group of people; you must share your goals with your fellow workers, in order to accomplish a single dream. The down side about this book is it's a little short, and its not really fun reading. But hey this book really helps to understand how to run a successful business.

Summary: Thank you Andy
Review: Simple stories with powerful messages help us guide our way through the tough patches in life. This book is the narration of such simple stories in natural settings involving squirrels, beavers and geese. It is amazing that we, the most intelligent creatures on earth have so much to learn from such simple creatures. The book also goes beyond drawing inferences from the moral of the stories. There is also a perfect setting to put them in action - Walton Works # 2, about to be closed down due to low productivity and accumulating losses. This would not be what a thousand and five hundred families who depend on this facility for a living be looking for. Peggy Sinclair, is brought in from head office as the new General Manager to set things right or probably to preside over the liquidation of Walton Works # 2. Her first impression is that head office was right in its assessment to close down the plant and it is unfortunate that she would be at its helm when it would actually happen. She is assisted by a group of eighteen Divisional Managers whose lack of managerial capability is evident from day one and one of them gets promptly fired. She sees no hope to revive the morale and productivity of a bunch of lethargic and de-motivated team. Then comes our hero from the finishing department - Andy Longclaw. The motor bike riding Indian, who has the most productive department with an excellent team bubbling with enthusiasm - Gung-ho. Peggy and Andy meet each other by accident and the rest of the book is about their joint efforts to Gung-ho Walton Works #2. A simple and powerful message for managers at all levels, I read this book whenever I feel a little low. Thanks Andy for handing down the wisdom of your Grandpa. Thanks Peggy for putting it in action and telling us this wonderful story. Gung-ho friends.

Summary: Very good book on motivation
Review: Gung Ho! tells the story of how a new manager of an under-performing factory, Walton Works #2, was able to turn it around into one of the best-performing plants within her organization, that being her threshold to her career success. The story explains in a very simple and clear manner the three main attributes of a well-motivated organization, their importance and their siginifcance within that organization.
The book is brief and yet explains its main ideas in sufficient detail, and they seem very logical too. This book falls short of being five stars only because it says very little or nothing on how to actually implement the recommendations in the book, and what to emphasize and what to avoid. The book is mainly the experience of one group of people, so you may need to take a different approach to implementing the same ideas. Overall, however, this is definitely a very good book on organizational motivation.

Summary: Gung Ho!! A great motivator
Review: After reading the book Gung Ho I have found myself not only looking at my job in a different way, but also my everyday life. I am a 22 year old production worker and after reading this book my foreman wanted to read it. As of today it has been passed along from me to my foreman, our supervisor,plant manager,and even to our company president. All that have read it now agree with me this is the most inspirational book we have ever read. It has made such an impact on all of us that my company is now starting to incorporate many of the things in the book into our workplace. If you want to motivate yourself or someone else just read the book. It will have nothing but positive affects.
