The Energy Bus: 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive… (utgåvan 2007)

The rules/lessons are straightforward. No surprises. The story that drives the lessons is simple. Still thinking what research is out there about leadership books that use this kind of narrative.
I think this book will be helpful for folks who have a lot of negativity in their lives and need something simple to move forward. Please also note that it does get a bit religious. ( )

really loved it. couldn't stop listening ( )

John Gordon's ''The Energy Bus'' is an excellent book that tells the story of how a bus ride can change a person's life.

With the help of other passengers, George is able to gain the confidence to successfully create a project. George gains the respect of his co workers, boss, and is able to make amends with his family. ( )

En montant dans le bus qui donne des ailes, vous ferez le voyage de toute une vie

I'm sorry, but while this book has some helpful advice about remaining upbeat and setting boundaries between our feelings and others' attitudes (no energy vampires!), it is pretty trite and simplistic. All too often, the places that rave about this book need to examine how their own policies and procedures affect morale versus books like this. (I suggest you read John G. Miller, and his QBQ books, instead.) ( )
