The No Complaining Rule

Description

'It's Tuesday morning and Hope walks into her office with puffy eyes, a swollen head and a broken heart. Unfortunately her company, EZ Tech, is in worse shape than she is. The fact that their computer batteries are catching on fire are the least of their problems. Employees have been posting negative comments about management on internet blogs for the world to see, the media is attacking the credibility of the company, morale is at an all time low, negativity is at an all time high and the stock price is falling faster than the Titanic. As head of Human Resources, Hope is charged with finding a solution to overcome the biggest challenge in her company's history. In the process of battling her own adversity she discovers 'The No Complaining Rule' and other positive ways to save her company and herself from ruin'. In the spirit of his international best selling book, "The Energy Bus", Jon Gordon once again shares an inspiring and enlightening story that reveals a powerful way to tackle the biggest problem in business and life today...negativity. It costs organizations billions of dollars and impacts the morale, productivity and health of individuals and teams.
