If work was more like this...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

When you spend so much time at work, it makes sense to be able to enjoy what you do and who you do with. There are so many good ideas in her, anyone should be able to get their workplace to buy into at least one of them. It's actually a leadership style that helps both sides of the table.

This is a must for running a Biz!!!

Such a fantastic notion"Fun is good"
it has transformed my business. I was a restaurant Chef and Owner. Now I am in the Food Entertainment Business!! Thanks to Fun Is Good! My guests are happy and my entertainers (staff) are happy and my partner and I are happy. Our new buisness model is Bring In The Fun!

Great Revisit

I love the content and the ideas which come as a result of it. I read this book when it first came out, and then again a second time. This is the first time I have listened to the audiobook. It just seems a shame the publisher used “a voice” and did not have Mike Veeck narrating the book. The content is king and it is well worth your time.

Slightly Dated but still good stuff

Even though a lot can be applied to all jobs, it’s still very focused on working in sports. If you are breaking into sports, or you are a new manager in the sports field I would absolutely recommend.

an inspiring good read!

This was an inspiring good read! A lot of great ideas and should be required for all management to read.... or listen.

Ahead of its time!

Mike offers Incredible insight into the importance of investing in people in a way that brings others joy and unleashes their passions. Fun is Good is a road map to a corporate culture that will create loyal loving teammembers, that enables a company to get the most out of everyone joyfully, and a work family that will enjoy giving and contributing every step of the way.
Fun is Good is a must read/listen for anyone, and is just as applicable today as it was the day it was published.
