Whale Done!

Más información sobre el libro

This insightful guide offers straightforward techniques to enhance positivity and redirect negativity, boosting productivity at work and home. Drawing parallels between people and killer whales, top business consultant Ken Blanchard, alongside SeaWorld coauthors, illustrates how both thrive when positivity is emphasized. Blanchard reveals that the methods used by animal trainers can significantly improve effectiveness in various aspects of life. Wes Kingsley, a business manager and family man, was inspired during a visit to SeaWorld, where he witnessed trainers guiding powerful killer whales to perform incredible feats. Engaging with the chief trainer, he learned about building trust, accentuating the positive, and redirecting negative behavior—key elements that enable such extraordinary performances. Reflecting on his own management style, Kingsley recognized how his accusatory approach undermined trust and strained relationships. Through this transformative journey, he discovered the importance of "Whale Done!"—celebrating successes rather than focusing on failures. Blanchard emphasizes that by adopting these techniques, individuals can foster a more supportive environment, enhancing productivity and morale. The strategies are easy to implement and can enrich personal relationships, empowering readers to become better parents and partners while achieving greater happiness and success in their lives.
