The Starfish Files: One Leader's Account of Insight & Inspiration Under Duress
HRD Press, July 2004, Pages: 112
Have you ever wished you could only somehow get your people to tackle their work with a more positive attitude, a little more initiative, a shared feeling of ownership, and personal responsibility for their success? Here's a one-of-a-kind book that will inspire leaders--like you--to overcome problems and threats, break through to higher performance levels, and generate new enthusiasm in employees.
A unique story about leadership that you will enjoy, learn from, and share with others.
The Starfish Files uses an easily read story about some notes on business management and a leader's challenges to present a message that goes much deeper than good-sounding advice.
The book describes a low-ranking manager with a somewhat unprofitable firm who was struggling with performance challenges--and wondering how to produce improved results. During a seaside vacation, he became inspired and captured his thoughts in writing, thinking the material would be beneficial to other managers dealing with the same problems.
He gives the notes to a friend--a successful author and business professional--and asks him to take a serious look. More notes followed and The Starfish Files was created--a 'lightly edited but completely authentic account' of the notes.
Today the low-ranking manager is associated with the senior executive's office of one of the world's largest and most successful organizations. And the Starfish Files reveal hi uncanny knack for creating a high-performance work climate in which everyone has star potential and employees truly do accomplish amazing things.
