Summary: A book that provides "real" employee thought in fun work!
Comment: I'm Donald Freeman, former General Manager of Operations for Sprint call center in Phoenix, AZ. (Read more about Don in Fish Tales by Charthouse). This books is a must for anyone currently involved in bringing Fun into the workplace and a good book to place beside the book "Fish" by Charthouse. I got real examples from companies and employees in this book that provided me with great ideas to use in my own business. This book provides many detailed examples from companies who have found "being productive is fun". It provides real examples on how companies become a place where people care and where people count. The book demonstrates the importance of celebrations that are honest and really are celebrations of being happy! She provides a lot of insight and their are shared ideas that can be used that have little cost but really make a difference in terms of caring and making work fun! It gives feedback from individuals who found the value and success in bringing "fun to work". If anyone has been challenged with using the Fish philosophy as a tool for fun at work, this book may be the ticket for making it all come together!
