Useful Little Book on Leadership

GUNG HO! was assigned to me as part of a leadership course. With its large print and wide margins, the book is really not much more than a pamphlet; you could easily finish it in a sitting. But it's probably best to read this at a slow pace, allowing time to absorb the lessons that it teaches, much as the main character in this book has to wait between lessons. There are useful, practicable measures to improve the performance of one's work force. There's nothing revolutionary here--like many self-help books, the beauty is in presenting commonsense ideas in a creative way (one can get a little distracted, though, in trying to discern in this narrative what's fiction and what's not) to get one to think about them. Finishing this book, I really did get reenergized about leading people, and to look for ways to instill a sense of leadership among my personnel. This book is not the be-all-and-end-all of management books; there are a number of other well written management books that target such critical areas as conflict resolution and time management. But this is a good starting point.

Easy read, not sure how useful

This is a fun, easy book to read, with plenty of concise, common-sense advice. My problem with this book is the same as I had with Raving Fans, which is that the obviously fictional story makes me question the validity of the claims of how well the system works.

The authors claim that it's based on a true story, with names changed to protect the innocent. Okay, but most business books are based on real events at real companies, so this approach doesn't necessarily make sense for this genre of writing.

It's still fun, and the advice still makes sense, but the style makes me wonder about the credibility.
