Walk Softly and Carry a Big Idea: A Fable: The Seven Lessons to Finding Meaning, Passion and Balance in Your Life and Work

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.
