Gung Ho!: Turn on the People in Any Organization (The One Minute Manager)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
In these days where the computer reigns supreme and management thought is presented in complicated models, there is something refreshing about management principles taught by allegory. Blanchard (The One Minute Manager, LJ 3/1/84), along with coauthor Bowles (Raving Fans, Morrow, 1993) recounts an organizational turnaround based on three Native American lessons. In &doublequote;The Spirit of the Squirrel,&doublequote; the lesson is one of the power of worthwhile work. In &doublequote;The Way of the Beaver,&doublequote; the lesson is accomplished through empowerment. In &doublequote;The Gift of the Goose,&doublequote; the lesson is the exponential factor of motivation. The problem inherent in the principles in this work, or any change program from weight-loss diets on up, is that there needs to be constant focus; success, if it is not continually renewed, is dissipated over time. Although new, this work makes a good preface and companion to Eliyahu Goldratt and Jeff Cox's The Goal (North River, 1992. 2d ed.).?Steven Silkunas, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority, Philadelphia

Product Description
An invaluable new strategy for creating enthusiastic employees, from the author of the bestselling The One Minute Manager. Every day thousands of uninspired employees trudge to work -- often dooming their companies to failure with their lack of enthusiasm. Drawing on over 20 years' experience of working with hundreds of corporations across the US -- including America Online, Eastman Kodak, General Motors, Hershey Chocolate and Microsoft -- Blanchard reveals a surefire strategy for boosting employee enthusiasm, productivity and performance. Gung Ho! presents a simple system for inspiring employees. Based on three core ideas: work must be seen as important, workers must be put in control of their own production and managers must cheer their workers on -- it is a method that all employees and managers can easily implement and which has already been adopted by such major corporations as K-Mart.
