BOOK REVIEW - DON'T FEED THE DUCKS! Liam O'Connell 

Don't Feed the Ducks!
Click for Review

He's back and he's done it again! Liam O'Connell, author of "My Fire's Gone Out", the inspirational story of three little devils managing change that I named 'Best Little Book of 2010' at time of reading, is back with Don't Feed the Ducks! - less metaphor, more hands-on cultural change programme.

   Opening with the words - "Let me paint you a picture. Imagine for a moment..." you get the feeling that Liam is something of a visionary; combine this with one outstanding phrase from the author's own journey, "It's a long ride, it's a fast ride and if you fall out it's your last ride", and you're spot on. The way this change programme is conveyed is just what's needed for seekers of practical methodologies to bring about real and lasting improvement. This is reading with a capital ACTION!  "Happy, focused people = happy customers". Too obvious you say? But..read review http://tinyurl.com/lasgld
