Gung Ho!

Posted on | August 21, 2008 | No Comments

Today I’ve read the book “Gung Ho!” by Ken Blanchard.
Gung Ho! describes the three principles which (can) lead to motivated people in organizations.

The book did not really provide me with new insights, but it is nicely written and short too
It will make an excellent gift.
