5.0 out of 5 stars
a great little business energiser!,
By Alison McGregor (Eastbourne, East Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fish!: A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results (Paperback)
This is a great little book that took me only an hour to read. Following in the mould of the likes of 'one minute manager' it is accessible and concentrates on a limited and manageble set of ideas about how to put more energy in to the workplace. The 'story' can seem a bit 'American cheesy' at times, but it is useful to illustrate the practical application in a realistic way. This is not just a 'what you should do is....' book, but a realistic illustration of how the ideas could work in any workplace doing any kind of work, and at any level in a company!! I also enjoyed reading it - it made me smile. I felt more energised about my approach to my work, and anything that can do that has got to be worth an hour of my time. The book contains 3 simple ideas and illustrates how to apply them.

Fishmongers teach us a thing or two,
By
This review is from: Fish!: A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results (Paperback)
This book is a little gem. It is quick to read (one hour), contains very simple messages & yet has the power to turn businesses around.It is a story about a manager in a department that is struggling with low energy, low morale and a poor reputation. One lunchtime she watches some fishmongers do something extraordinary - have fun, create amazing energy and enthusiasm and inspire others (they have spectators!). The fishmongers distil their magic into four principles: Are these the answers to your morale, high sickness or high turnover problems? Possibly. For one hour and a few quid's investment, isn't it worth finding out? What I loved was the additional information in the follow-up book (Fish Tales) that show real people and real businesses (from nurses, to call centres, to car salesmen and roofers) using the FISH! principles and creating wonderful places to work (for them and their customers). Maybe a year on you'll want to get Fish Sticks to learn how to keep the momentum going once the initial buzz has worn off. What I learnt was if they can, I can use this to bring new life and energy into my business and those I work with. Great stuff: inspiring, yet simple.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Well worth an hour of anyone's time,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fish! A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results (Hardcover)
This is a good (if slightly cheesey in places - or should that be plaices?) read with some sound messages. OK, so the points are not exactly new, but you cann't have too much of a good message. It effectively describes the points it is trying to make. Problem is, if you are the type of person who reads this kind of book, you'll love it but probably benefit less than those who do not, and would hate it! My advice; it'll only take an hour or so of your time to read - so go on - you owe it to yourself. But before you start it, choose to be open to believing the message... Alternatively, if you have a friend who is always moaning about how dull their work is, do them a favour and buy them this instead of another glass of wine. It might just make their day.
