About mid-September, I was part of a re-organization process at work. With many things, re-organizations can be very hard to accept and/or understand the logic behind it. This change was very hard to understand as it just doesn't make sense. So with change there is always confusion and anger, especially when there is no direction presented. So instead of bring this environment home day after day to my family, I tried to keep it at work. Not understanding how to handle such a thing as it was causing problems with my work and home life, I turned to Google. After doing various searches on Google, I can across a concept called "Who Moved my Cheese?".
Being a very interesting name and topic, I set out to find the book at my local book reseller. After having the book for a couple weeks and nothing else to do on the flight to San Francisco, I decided it was time to read it. I would recommend this book to anyone that might be facing change at either work or at home. It really breaks things down with a simple to understand approach. After reading the , book I understood in some ways what I was doing wrong and the way that I looked at change. I could see instant benefits in applying the concepts to my work and home life. I have provided a link to the book on Amazon's website below. The book can also be found or ordered from many other sites on the internet or at your local book reseller.
"Who Moved My Cheese?" on Amazon.com
You can also go to the "Who Moved My Cheese?" website to get additional information.
If you read it or have read it, let me know what your thoughts on it are. What are you going to do the next time some one moves your Cheese?
What is Cheese you might ask? (Short explanation that I derived out of reading the book)
Cheese can be anything that you might be working towards like a new house or even the comfort of your day-to-day job. It is simply the thing or things that make you happy in life, which are usually never the same from person to person. The Cheese is moved when we are faced with change in our lives, little by little or delivered as one large shocking jolt.
Sincerely,
Lee
