"I've been dipping into some management books with the new job and since this one has been on my shelf forever (and it's short) I gave it a read. It's a little simplistic (and honestly reads a little too much like a kids' book at times), but the maxims it uses (Choose Your Attitude, Be Present, Make Their Day, Play) are smart. Of course, figuring out how to implement them is the hard part, and the book doesn't offer much in the way of guiding you on that score."
"This book describes how to add energy and morale to the workplace: Choose your attitude, play, make the customer's day, and be present. It is based on the world-famous Pike Place fish market. It was a quick and entertaining read, with some good counsel and advice."
"I know it is a matter of perspective certainly, but I think a one star rating is missing the point of this book... It is absolutely not going to be winning any writing awards, but it contains lessons that I think we all need to be reminded of periodically. I always feel better when I read it and I always take something away from it. Quick read... an hour tops! Buy it for yourself, buy it for friends, buy it for coworkers... We can all benefit from the Fish philosophy!
1) Choose the attitude you bring to work. 2) Play. (Every job may not be fun, but we can choose to have fun doing it.) 3) Make their day (Engage customers - including them creates goodwill) 4) Be Present (Be aware of those around you and be fully available)"
"I had to read this for a professional development course on leadership that I'm taking in a couple of weeks. It was a little too motivational for me (that sounds horrible), but I did come away with some positive thoughts."
