Whale Done
How to create Leadership and Create High Performance Organizations
How to express and direct your honest feelings ?
How NOT to Manipulate people you care ?
In someway there is a common thread running across these questions and unravels itself as you read the “Story” return by Ken. Yes its a story and its brilliantly narrated with incidence from the world around you......
But don't stop there . There are 3 key observations which when adopted leads to an “Empowerment” of your team , ““Empowerment” of your life n Family and Finally it makes a BIG difference to YOU as a person. Whale Done can be a classic if you read it as a story and a powerful tool if you consciously follow the directions given in the book
Seaworld is a place of whales. All jumping , fun-run and dancing to the perfect tune of the trainer. what makes this monster really obey (or I should say "follow trainers heart") , to perform in front of those 100's of audience? .....Thats the point which leads the book through out. Ken Blanchard fairs really well in narrating the moral and at the same time passing the message loud and clear . “If we can make Whales to follow a direction which entertains audience then we can as well direct our people , Our situation and Ourself to a near perfect world ! “ .
Author continuous to experiment what he learnt in Seaworld ,to be applied in the work place and in the family
Over his journey makes many more observations .One of the touching lines personally to me was an incident of a kid . The incident explains how re-direction helps to by-pass kids behavior and take it to a world of wisdom.
Finally , Ken re-iterates 3 definitive points through out .
1.Build Trust
2.Accentuate Positive
3.When mistakes occur , re-direct
Simple but yet makes lot of sense when adopted . So Whale Done Guys !!!!
