I fully agree with the concepts in this book that with the right attitude any work situation can be enjoyed. However when a former supervisor wanted us all to have a 'fish attitude' and then proceeded to sing "Fish Heads, Fish Heads, rolley-polley fish heads..." I had a hard time buying in.
Couldn't have read it at a better time.... Starting in a new position I definetely needed an attitude change. From now on I'll decide the attitude I'll have to approach my days. I'll leave worries behind and play in each situation but still be responsible about my surroundings and I'll be present for those who come to me and make sure I find a way to make their day. =D
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.
