(23/05/2009) Good Catch
This little book provided great examples of how any of us can apply the Fish! Philosophy to our own work settings whether large or small. Well done!
(06/01/2009) Pretentious Drivel
This is one of the most pretentious pop-psych books I've ever read. It's very - VERY - poorly written, remarkably redundant and a waste of time and money. The content could have been expressed in less than a "My Turn" column in Newsweek magazine. Skip this one!
(16/11/2008) Great Little Read
Excellent book. Love the authors. Quick and easy to read. All about attitude and full of ideas to change.
(19/08/2007) IT means: Find Purpose, Live Identity, Coach Accountability
An easy read and good use of the fable to emphasis an often overlooked part of performance management; the importance of each individual finding a piece of their Me Inc. vision within the Business Inc. vision. Although authors Lundin, Christensen, and Paul never use the term Me Inc. in this fable about sustaining a performance transformation within the 6th-floor neurological care ward of Good Samaritan Hospital (Business Inc. in the fable), referring to the connection as IT; they clearly convey the message that sustainable performance is only possible when individuals find their IT within the wards vision of customer care.
Recognizing that sustainable motivation/energy can only be created when individuals connect their purpose, identity, and accountability with their business's performance vision, the authors show how the employee's must Find IT thru individual conversations, Live IT by putting their unique identity into action, and hold each other accountable thru a Coach IT process unencumbered by hierarchy. While fables can only go so far in conveying the complexity of organizational effectiveness, this fable brings a critical piece of the puzzle to the front. It is recommended for use with teams as the next step after the initial visioning and performance goal setting processes of performance management. Dennis DeWilde, author of "The Performance Connection"
