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.

2007-07-02 Entertaining and enlightening about turning things around

This isn't your typical management book about motivating your workers. In this book you follow the main character trying to turn a factory around and saving it from being shut down. The book uses concepts that seem taken from Native American culture to convince the reader about sound management principles. You cannot help nodding in agreement as you experience how the squirrel, the badger and the goose are used as symbols for how work environments should be. This is an entertaining and enlightening read that you should finish in little time, but which will haunt you for longer.
