Amazon.co.uk
Here's another management parable that draws its lesson from an unlikely source--this time it's the fun-loving fishmongers at Seattle's Pike Place Market. In Fish! the heroine, Mary Jane Ramirez, recently widowed and mother of two, is asked to engineer a turnaround of her company's troubled operations department, a group that authors Stephen Lundin, Harry Paul and John Christensen describe as a "toxic energy dump". Most reasonable heads would cut their losses and move on. Why bother with this bunch of losers? But the authors don't make it so easy for Mary Jane. Instead, she's left to sort out this mess with the help of head fishmonger Lonnie. Based on a bestselling corporate education video, Fish! aims to help employees find their way to a fun and happy workplace. While some may find the storyline and prescriptions--such as "Choose Your Attitude", "Make Their Day" and "Be Present"--downright corny, others will find a good dose of worthwhile motivational management techniques. If you loved Who Moved My Cheese? then you'll find much to like here. And don't worry about Mary Jane and kids. Fish! has a happy ending for everyone. --Harry C Edwards

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have had a very successful run of workshops and trainings based upon this wonderful book. As a business consultant and advisor I am always on the search for tools to help get particular points and issues across. FISH is picture perfect for enrolling employees in the process of building what Blanchard calls "raving fans". FISH is the easiest and most effective leverage tool to infuse this sort of comraderie and collaboration because it's an easy read, it resonates even with the toughest cookies and gives a model that is so darned easy to get. My clients are blown away with the results. One in particular cannot believe how some folk who were 'stuck' for years are now coming out of their caves and participating. Get the book, read the book, prescribe the book and give your clients the gift of FISH. Dave Corbin, Poway, California.

Nichts Neues unter der Sonne. Auch in Fish. wird man keine neuen Erkenntnisse finden. Das ist auch gar nicht intendiert. Denn es geht den Autoren nur darum, passive Erkenntnisse über zwei ganz unterschiedliche, miteinander verknüpfte Beispiel-Fälle zu aktivieren. Das allerdings ist genial umgesetzt. Unterhaltsam, mit zwingender Logik, menschlich, persönlich und sehr emotional. Fish zielt, wen wundert's bei dem Titel, auf das Bauchgefühl. Die lohnendste Lesestunde, die ich seit langem hatte.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
It is not surprising that this book is a lot like Gung Ho! Oneof the coauthors is from the Ken Blanchard organization, and Blancharduses a film created by the other coauthors in his talks. The story is a fable built on a real fish business in Seattle, Pike Fish Place (usually referred to as "the world famous Pike Fish Place" in the book).
The fable is wonderful and if it were written in the Gung Ho! format, I would have given in 5 stars and wished to give it 6. I frankly liked it better than Gung Ho! for its central message. In fact, if you live in Seattle, assume I gave it a 6 because you won't have the problems with the book that I did.
The reason I graded the book down one star is that the structure doesn't quite work. The first problem is that there are a lot of references in the book to Pike Fish Place that probably make all kinds of sense to people who have been there or seen the film. I have had neither experience. I found some of the references quite confusing. Why do customers want to catch raw fish wearing their business clothes? Why do customers want to buy fish from a fish market where customers are encouraged to try to catch the fish, and the fish usually fall on the ground? Beats me, but the book talks a lot about this kind of example. I came away confused in a number of places. But I'll be sure to go by Pike Fish Place on my next trip to Seattle to figure out what the authors were trying to teach me.
The rest of the references are pretty clear, so you won't be confused all of the time. Perhaps you have a better imagination than I do.
The other structural problem in the book that caused me to grade it down is that the process described for implementing Fish! involved having the people involved visit Pike Fish Place. .... Ignoring the structural problems, the story is as heart-warming a fable as you could hope for. It tugs at the heart strings in a way that the Blanchard fables don't do. That's why I would normally have wanted to give the book a 6 star rating. .... One of the great strengths of the book is that it aspires to humanity in places where humanity is often partially shut out -- back offices, fish stores, and other places where most people would not want to work. The authors persuasively point out that life is what you make of it. .... The book is clearly aimed at the supervisory and managerial level person, although it will be appreciated by those below and above those levels. .... .... Fish! and have a ball!
