Editorial Reviews

“As we showed in our book Fish, the best businesses go back to the basics when they are experiencing difficulties. In this delightful and deceptively simple tale of another Seattle-based business, managers and employees in companies of any size can find truth, values, and an inspiring blueprint for better business.” —Harry Paul, coauthor of Fish!: A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results
“This book is like a cup of good coffee: it doesn't take long, it has been carefully pulled using the best ingredients, shared with love and laughter, and meant to promote a conversation, create a jolt, and a burst of energy.” —Beverly Kaye, founder and CEO, Career Systems International, and coauthor, Love 'Em or Lose 'Em: Getting Good People to Stay
Quite simply, this a terrific business story with lessons for people in any kind of company, in any industry. Jack Hartman is the kind of hero readers are going to be cheering for through the last page. — Bob Rosner, syndicated columnist, Working Wounded, and coauthor, The Boss's Survival Guide
“A quick, easy read with solid business-and life-messages.”  —Publishers Weekly
