Re-Motivated and Energised - nice one,
By Wardrobe "Travelling to Fat City" (Wakefield) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Polar Bear Pirates: A Grown Up's Book for Kids at Work (Paperback)
I have read parts of this book at a colleagues desk and found it really intriguing although this review is intended more about how this book should be used.... I had the great pleasure to see Adrian Webster at a conference this week and he was amazing.
Hearing Adrian discuss his book and his findings was just the ticket to re-energise my belief and motivation levels. Within minutes his no nonsense and humourous over-view of team roles revealed an incredbly useful insight into some of my team members. I can't wait to get into work tomorrow. Will this book change your life, probably not, but (ironically) inline with Adrian's view of sucess, reading this book this will almost certainly be one of the 'small steps' you may need to take to make the changes you are probably needing. It will remind you about all the really important things that you have done in the past which you have probably forgotten to keep doing. I wish I'd seen this when I first started managing people as it would have saved a lot of mistakes. Enjoy the experience and show that you are having fun while you do it.....eg. smile Thanks Adrian.

Polar Bear Pirates,
By A Customer
This review is from: Polar Bear Pirates and Their Quest to Reach Fat City: A Grown Up's Book for Kids at Work (Paperback)
Polar Bear Pirates and Their Quest to Reach Fat City must be the most refreshing business book around. It's great fun labelling all those work colleagues and friends that drive you up the wall, but just think 'Neg Ferret' or 'Bloater' and they will never have the same effect again. Not only is this book fun and amazingly illustrated, it is inspiring and motivational. I couldn't put it down!!

Polar Bear Pirates,
This review is from: Polar Bear Pirates: A Grown Up's Book for Kids at Work (Paperback)
An innovative writing style makes this book easy reading with humorous names and images for the less than positive people adding to the fun of the book. Underlying all of that is a simple strategy for achieving personal success. I want to be a Polar Bear Pirate and am making the changes necessary to achieve that goal. A good starting point for anyone at an impasse in their lives; personally or professionally
