From the internationally bestselling authors of Nut! and Gut!, two classics on corporate excellence that are both available from www.mindspan.cn. |
- MSL Picks -
While many people - and authors - lament the blurring of the lines between "work" and "life," Kevin and Jackie Freiberg have embraced the concept and created a roadmap to help readers dramatically improve both. While some of the insights in Boom! about embracing personal responsibility and leadership are simple, what makes the book stand apart are the authors' head-on approach that both challenges and supports readers to take the difficult steps necessary to actually live them. The online companion Boom Box provides even more and deeper resources that make great "bulletin board material" for personal motivation as well as "passalongs" for co-workers (and even bosses!) to spread positive change throughout the workplace. If you're looking for sharp, 360 degree insight into how your personal life directly impacts your work life, you'd be hard pressed to find a better guide book than Boom! And for those of us who understand that change is good but lack the motivation to make changes when the process or even outcomes appear too difficult, the Freiberg's are unparalleled coaches when it comes to making us all "players" at home and at work.
(From quoting John Dornan, USA)

Nicole Matthews (MSL quote), USA
<2008-10-29 00:00>
BOOM! couldn't have come into my life at a better time! As I straddled the line between working in the drudgery of the corporate world and finding the courage to explore an entrepreneurial path to hang out my own shingle, BOOM! convinced me it was time to blow-the-doors off business as usual and make the leap. The Freibergs get it right when they say that America has a crisis on their hands with the Dead People Working Syndrome. I got tired of watching the zombies walk past my office every day, and the thought of joining that march was beyond frightening! I celebrate the arrogance I now feel about being engaged and present with the work I am doing. BOOM! has encouraged me to cultivate my passion, inspires me to be a player in both my personal and professional life and to demand accountability. I feel like I am finally operating in my "sweet spot" because I now choose to work on projects that combine my gifts, with my passion and my contributions. I am honored to be a part of the BOOM! movement! |
