Bookreview: All in the same boat

 

Very interesting book! 


Summary

On a submarine crew, officers and sailors work together in cramped spaces
and challenging conditions to accomplish complex missions with no room for
failure.

As Rennie moved into leadership positions in the business world, he found that
the basic underlying principles for success at sea also led to high-performing
teams on land.

Leaders succeed when they create a unified team with a singular mission -
when all employees perform like they are all in the same boat. 




My Review


I enjoyed this book very much as well as the applicable book cover. 

The author tells fantastic about his own experiences in the navy, which
he compares to situations in a business.

I read many books about leadership and about Industrial and Organizational
psychology but this one is special due to the personal stories of the author.
He also makes great links and argumentations with for example facts and 
figures.This book helps business leaders with clear hints. 

I would recommend "All in the same boat" to all the business leaders who
want inspiration for the problems in their firm. 

I give without any doubt a 5 star rating to this very interesting book!

Easy as ABC

lots of fun. But will he get one? 

It is Miley The Monkey's Birthday and he has been learning on his 
new bike! Do you think he learns how to ride? Is it really easy as ABC?


My Review

First of all: what an amazing children's book! I enjoyed it very much, 
although this genre isn't my normal reading taste. I also liked the 
simple, but beautifully drawn and colourful book cover. 

The book Miley the Monkey "Easy as ABC" reads very quickly and was 
written easily. It was very relaxing and yet it contains an important
lesson.

I liked the character of Miley a lot but I also had much sympathy for
his supportive family. 

I would recommend this book to children who start reading or to their
parents who like to read for their little ones. 

Of course, I give without any doubt a 5 star rating for Miley the Monkey
"Easy as ABC".  I hope to read and review more books of this series.
