Book Description

An inspiring fable that delivers real-life power, purpose, and inspiration-wisdom that could otherwise take years to find

From one of the most creative executives today comes an entertaining, powerful, and instructive business and life fable that provides clarity to today's most troubling questions: How can I manage or lead myself first and then others through increasing complexity? How do I find order in the chaos? How do I move from feeling isolated to becoming a part of a larger community? How do I find balance in my work and home life? Jones weaves a compelling tale of Scott, a manager struggling with the increasing chaotic demands of his work and life. Scott has lost a sense of passion, purpose, and meaning and has settled into a pattern of endless deadlines, late nights, to-do lists, and pressure. Using this creative backdrop, Jones provides profound guidelines for creating productive work relationships and teams and for discovering what is real in your life.

5 out of 5 stars Review of "Walk Softly and Carry a Big Idea".......2002-10-27

I think this is an excellent book for anyone who is working. As a designer of programs for managers and executives I keep track of the current market and read or scan most of the books published, and there are some good ones. This book is a fictional story that carries a truly big idea. Imagine if you could have it all--a way to succeed at work without giving up your life. Jones' book provides seven profound lessons you can apply immediately to improve the relationships you have not only at work but in your private life as well. This is a book for real people with real problems. As the story unfolds, you are able to analyze the problems and are guided into discovering realistic answers. Those answers can help managers make choices that will serve them not only in their business settings but in their personal lives as well.
