Die Mäuse Strategie für Manager: Veränderungen erfolgreich begegnen by Spencer Johnson, Gaby Turner

It probably isn't all that helpful to write a review of a book read a decade ago, but I am committed to providing a full slate of reviews of books I share with others... so here goes.
This one was an instant classic that touched a lot of people. It went to the top of the charts and was passed from cubicle to cubicle all over the world. Those who wish to promote change read it on behalf of others they know and consider change resistant. I can't test this theory without a crystal ball, but I would bet only a small percentage of people who read this one saw themselves in it, and made adjustments in their own lives. I hope I'm wrong.
Some very excellent material on change management has come out in the 15 years since this was published, much of it by John Kotter and his colleagues (Our Iceberg is Melting, Leading Change, etc.) Those with a serious interest in helping to move their organizations forward will do well to settle in with one of those.
This one still makes a great stocking-stuffer though. Share it with the Hemmers and Hawers in your life!

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would! The lessons were relatively basic but a much needed reminder on how to not only embrace sudden change, but how to anticipate it as well.

Filled with things that "wisdom" that every human already knows.

Short and to the point. A classic 90's business book about change, mindset, and cheese.

I borrowed this from my boss and read it in a half hour. It is a good way to think about things. I especially liked that it reminded people that just because things are going bad in your relationships, it doesn't mean you give up on the person or situation, you can change your behavior and thinking too.

Good book. It was a quick read, my kind of self help book, and helped me focus on the direction I wanted to go to at that time. I was at a comfortable spot but not a very safe spot. I didn't like change and this book gave me a little push into the right direction.

Short, easy read that really makes you think about where you are in life, where you want to go, and how to get there.

I read it as a kid and it got into me. When I'm facing big changes/challenges in my life, I think of this book and keep searching for my cheese :)
