A workplace reality check
An easy and non-threatening read, "Journey" outlines an approach to creating a work environment which is inspiring and built to last. The book presents a fairly detailed model of the workplace, and some suggestions on how to transform the workplace into the Heroic variety. It should come as no great surprise that the book also recommends consulting services by the author.
I generally found the book envigorating, and came away from it with a renewed committment to a high level of personal integrity at work.
I read this book in about 4 hours, and it was worth that level of effort. I suspect that enacting the types of changes in the workplace this book describes would require quite a bit more effort.

Reads like a novel. Applications of a managment text.
This book is easy and fun read like one of Ken Blanchard's books. Contains lot's of practical applications for businesses, organizations, and families living in the fast paced, changing enviroment of the 21st Century.
Although it can be read in 2-3 hours, you will probably want to re-read often.
Contains an excellent self-evaluation quiz at the end of the book.

How to make the time you spend at work worthwhile
This is a great book for anyone who's tired of office politics and petty bickering in the workplace. One of the positives about the book is that it assumes people want their work, and the time they spend at work, to mean something. The dialogue in the book is based around this optimistic foundation, and is refreshing reading for any individual or team working in today's business world. I recommend getting a copy for yourself, and talking your manager into buying one for each member of your workplace. The idea of shared values discussed in this quick read can strengthen the bonds between members of a workgroup, and make work an enjoyable experience rather than drudgery. Similar Products
