Recommendation

Dave Hemsath and Leslie Yerkes present hundreds of methods and activities that incorporate fun into your organization’s work: hiring, training sessions, meetings, communications, awards, and team work. Dedicated to "fun-loving people everywhere," this happy, easy-to-read book is clear and cheerful. The authors humorously present their "Twelve-Step Method to Fun." They suggest that you use it by incorporating one step a month for a year. The information presented can be used as a "quick read" for corporate ideas, or as a reference book for training program organizers and for personnel or staff development programs. getAbstract recommends this book to CEOs or personnel directors looking for ways to boost company morale, or to staff members who want to make their work environment more pleasant.
