Finally, someone who gets it and speaks it
If you're a department leader who has ever been challenged with drawing fresh thinking and passion out of a tired or jaded employee or staff you probably faced two big obstacles: 1) trying to find their "hot" button to help them grow, be happier and be more
productive
and 2) trying to find anyone who has new and engaging thoughts about how to do #1.
This book helps
right
out of the gates with an insider's knowledge offered with an astonishingly honest and hilarious voice. The witty footnotes are worth the read alone. Plus, it's concise enough that you can probably get through it on a red eye from LA to Chicago.
Right now, I'm only halfway through it. But I've already started to put a few of its suggestions in place and I'm seeing some dividends -- not just within my staff but within me.
Can't wait to finish it.

The right choice for both employers and employees
This book is both informative and fun to read. It uses humor to convey important messages about how we can all be happier and more
productive
. While the book is oriented toward the corporate world, the same messages are applicable to all facets of our lives. And this book speaks to both employers and employees. Employers who utilize Zeff's techniques will find they have a more effective and efficient team. Employees who follow his strategies will either be able to turn their current job into their dream job, or they'll have the impetus and motivation they need to seek the job that best fits their talents and personality. This book is a fast read, and can easily be finished in one sitting. However, the Quick Ideas at the end of each chapter that recap the major points
make
it easy to resume reading after interruptions or distractions.

Must have this book!!
This was an incredibly helpful and entertaining read. Joel helps us rediscover the fun and passion for career/
life/family that
some of us lose as we get older.
I couldn't put it down. It had me laughing out loud..which is original in a leadership/motivational book. I have been a fan of Joel's since the 1990's and I am so excited he gets to share his wisdom with so many in a written form. Get this book for yourself, business associates and family members. You'll be glad you did.
How to succeed in business: Read this book, have fun.
I usually avoid "business books" like this, mostly because I am incredibly cynical about corporate America and any lessons to be learned therefrom. But Zeff's book is a fun take on how to bring some creativity and fun into
work
, and how to liven up those awful seminars. Zeff's tips and refreshing observations had even cynical ol' me examining some of my own attitudes at work and how I approach various situations, both as an employee and a manager. He also had me chuckling at his spot-on descriptions of some of my least favorite characters from the corporate world, including the black-mock-turtleneck manager and the "back-row people" at seminars. He's a witty writer who's fun to read, and this book is like a personal pep rally to help keep you excited about what you do. Read it, share it, and lighten up.
