In the tradition of Who Moved My Cheese? and the Fish! series comes an entertaining and time-tested parable about how to maximize a business career around one's strengths.
A group of animals with self-perceived shortcomings but great aspirations decides to attend school to become more well-rounded. But as the rabbit tries to swim, the pig tries to climb trees, and the others try to improve their "weaknesses," they end up frustrated and unhappy with each other. Animals, Inc. is a simple but powerful parable explaining a basic but vital business lesson: executives, managers, and employees need to focus on their strengths rather than spending too much time concentrating on their weaknesses. Gallup tells listeners how.
Taking a page or two (or four) from George Orwell's ANIMAL FARM, the authors offer a witty and cautionary fable for business managers and ambitious workers. The considerable vocal talents of Jim Ward are put to good use as he gives an entire barnyard of animals distinctive and funny voices, not to mention humans and even a scarecrow. This audiobook is worth listening to merely for its entertainment value, though the authors drive home some important points about managing a company with common sense instead of contradictory textbook formulas. Whether you're a sales bull or a manufacturing boar, listen to these animals for insight! D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
