Overview

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.

Worth a good rental, but don't expect anything ground breaking, or something that makes you go ahhh.. I books with simple points and illustrations, however, something is missing here in this book. Great concept, funny lines, but something is missing. Good common sense.
