Ubuntu!: An Inspiring Story About an African… by Bob Nelson

This one left me feeling a little empty. The book was filled with workplace examples of the concept of Ubuntu. I was hoping to gain more insight into the origins and history of the African tradition and I really didn't feel like I got that. There are plenty of self-help books that serve as aids for facilitating teamwork and collaboration. I was looking to see how this particular cultural tradition is significant and I don't that was well addressed in this book.

Fish: A Proven Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results by Stephen C. Lundin

An amusing little anecdote that entertained me through work and explained the playful nature behind how my newest work is run. It's not too bad, even if the ending is a little too forced.

Fish: A Proven Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results by Stephen C. Lundin

What bothers me about books like this is that they are short little fantasies that tie up loose ends too cleanly. And I only read this book because we were told to at work for a "team-building exercise." Perhaps a good message, but I don't need it.
