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 "The Spirit
of the Squirrel," the lesson is one of the power of worthwhile
work. In "The Way of the Beaver," the lesson is accomplished
through empowerment. In "The Gift of the Goose," 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,

内容简介
With a new foreword by Ken Blanchard 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
sure-fire 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.
