From publisher
As an athlete, family man, and star employee, Pete Leonard had it all. But now the years and years of going along to get along are taking their toll. His second marriage is as shaky as his right hand after a night spent coddling a bottle, his employees think he's a joke, and his boss is just looking for an excuse to show him the door. Can things get any worse? Well, how would you feel if you actually started seeing moose around your office? That's the premise of this new book from acclaimed author Jim Clemmer. Moose on the Table is one manager’s story of finding and overcoming fear - one tiny step at a time. Come along as Pete learns to face the moose threatening the communications and effectiveness of his department, organization - and even his life. In this “edutaining” business fable, Clemmer provides realistic scenarios and solutions, showing how individuals and organizations can apply fundamental leadership principles to identify and resolve the challenges all of us face each and every day.

Moose on the Table is an endearing book written by leadership consultant and author Jim Clemmer. This book is Jim's first endeavor to teach principles and morals using a fictional approach. It is an established fact that many people learn more effectively from storytelling... an imaginary approach to instruction rather than the pedagogic method. Clemmer mentions early in the book, "I've thoroughly enjoyed studying and applying the timeless art of storytelling to allow you to be a fly-on-the-wall witness to many of the kinds of ineffective and effective conversations and actions I've seen during my twenty-five years in the personal, team and organizational-development fields."
Moose on the Table is centered on the personal life of Pete Leonard. Pete's life is a mess. His marriage is struggling, his children are drifting and his career is in shambles. He works for an autocratic boss named Doug Drake who believes that leadership is a "command and control" function of management. Doug is a bully and is critical of Pete because he doesn't believe Pete exhibits strong leadership. Doug also knows Pete's coworkers have lost confidence in him. Since the company that Pete works for is in rapid decline, Pete is feeling a large amount of stress and knows his job is in jeopardy.
Reluctantly, Pete attends a seminar workshop and is introduced to a consultant named Jason Reynard. With Jason's patient coaching and instruction Pete begins to make a personal life renovation moving from fear to courage. This process changes every aspect of Pete's life including his family and career. Eventually, Pete confronts Doug about his destructive autocratic approach toward people and the result is surprising.
The concept of Moose on the Table was introduced in Clemmer's previous book The Leader's Digest. The "moose" represents the fact that families and teams often avoid difficult and tough conversations. Because of fear these problems are not addressed. Everyone knows the problem (moose) is there but no one mentions it. As time goes on the moose only gets bigger and it attracts other moose. Eventually moose are everywhere. This environment of avoidance and fear will continue until someone courageously acknowledges the problem and addresses it.
Clemmer has once again written a book that is pure joy to read and mentally stimulating. The more you think about the examples and analogies of Moose on the Table the more you appreciate how well it was written. This is a book that continues to enforce leadership principles long after you have read it and put it on your shelf. |
