Product Description

Review
'I commend this book to you - wiser even than The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, far, far funnier than In Search of Excellence, so much thinner than The Harvard Business Review Encyclopedia of Corporate Strategy, and astoundingly cheaper than Catch 22! ' Professor Mike Pedler 'A brilliant synthesis of old folk wisdom and the modern management environment. A must read for leaders, aspiring leaders and those that advise them.' Roger Housden, best selling author of Ten Poems to Change Your Life

Product Description
Nasrudin is the archetypal wise fool, who lived in the Middle East over 600 years ago, his stories have travelled the world and been updated in every generation. Peter Hawkins has given a modern spin to 84 of these stories by turning Nasrudin into a management consultant. Simple truths are told in a straightforward and highly entertaining way. They shock us into seeing situations and ideas with which we have become familiar from a different perspective. Each story slips into our house by its engaging good humour, but once inside it can start to rearrange the furniture and knock new windows through the walls of our mind - a process that can be releasing and refreshing, but at times disconcerting! The book also provides an introduction to Nasrudin and his stories, and a chapter on "Telling Tales; the positive use of stories in organisations."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun!, 24 April 2005
By Dr. M. Munro Turner "Mike the Mentor" (Great Malvern, Worcestershire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have long enjoyed the Nasrudin stories for their simplicity and power (and shortness!). What the author has done here is to update the stories for the world of modern leadership, grouped them together, and then provided a short but insightful introduction for each grouping. Buy this book because you want to be able to use them as an effective way of communicating simple truths to others or just for the sheer enjoyment of reading these delightful stories!

2.0 out of 5 stars Fools Gold , 1 Jun 2008
By P. Connolly "Philosopherblue" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This slim book has some words of wisdom but mainly second hand stories and joke reworked to fit leadership and organisational scanarios.
It sounded good but all that glitters is not gold and only fools rush in to buy ths book.
