Sinopsis
With Who Moved My Cheese? Dr. Spencer Johnson realizes the need for finding the language and tools to deal with change--an issue that makes all of us nervous and uncomfortable. Most people are fearful of change because they don't believe they have any control over how or when it happens to them. Since change happens either to the individual or by the individual, Spencer Johnson shows us that what matters most is the attitude we have about change. When the Y2K panic gripped the corporate realm before the new millenium, most work environments finally recognized the urgent need to get their computers and other business systems up to speed and able to deal with unprecedented change. And businesses realized that this was not enough: they needed to help people get ready, too. Spencer Johnson has created his new book to do just that. The coauthor of the multimillion bestseller The One Minute Manager has written a deceptively simple story with a dramatically important message that can radically alter the way we cope with change. Who Moved My Cheese? allows for common themes to become topics for discussion and individual interpretation. Who Moved My Cheese? takes the fear and anxiety out of managing the future and shows people a simple way to successfully deal with the changing times, providing them with a method for moving ahead with their work and lives safely and effectively.
Reseñas
In a previous job, we were required to watch an insipid cartoon based on this book as part of an orientation. Its difficult to express how entirely demoralizing the implication is that you are merely a mouse trapped in a maze, for whom the sole goal in life is "cheese." Gives new meaning to the phrase "rat race." One person nearly lost their job on the spot for standing up in the Q&A session afterwards, and asking, "What if I don't like cheese? What if I like salad instead?"
I found the book too basic. Life is not that simple. Often times life provides you the opportunity to make your own cheese rather than searching for crumbs or the rare Cheese Station(Dream Job or that perfect business Deal).
I also didn't like the fact that the book hinted on dumping people who are set in their ways. There is a need for people who can change quickly but there is also a need for people who are set in stone. Some of the hardest working people tend to be people who put themselves into a set groove. The book, in my opinion, stereotyped inflexible people as ignorant, lazy, selfish people which is not always true. Sometimes work environments try to change constantly but shouldn't and people who like change can often make huge mistakes by changing when the situation did not call for it.
I believe that management should balance their workforce with the best of all types and not make quick judgments based on how flexible a person is. If some employee under your management is inflexible but a hard worker, smart, and reliable - give them some time to change. As long as they do not hinder your work flow, finding good employees are hard to come by - regardless of their ability to change quickly or not.
