"This was a fun to read business book with some good common sense approaches for how to treat employees and people in general. It isn't going to solve the problem of world peace butit is a good reminder for how we should be acting anyway."

"This modern day office fable is a fun, quick read. I like to reread it every couple years. It is a good reminder of how we can empower our employees so that they want to be a productive member of the group."

"This is a fun management book that is written in the form of a fable. The format is concise and easy to read,which is a bonus for busy people striving to make things better. If you are a manager or supervisor who is interested in nurturing positive working environments, increasing collaboration and collegiality and improving productivity, this book is for you.

I found that many of the factors of managerial success rely on emotional intelligence--active listening, showing empathy, providing sincere words of encouragement and building up of workers' self-esteem. These suggestions reminded me of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. After food and shelter requirements are met, people have a need for social acceptance and personal validation. While I have not finished the book yet, I have not doubt that it will continue to deliver practical advice for building community in the workplace and for helping managers learn how to give their employees a Zapp! (a sense of empowerment, autonomy and validation) vs. a Sapp (let downs, lack of control and abandonment)."
