Book: Our Iceberg is Melting


An interesting book!! This book looks very similar to the bestseller "Who moved my Cheese" in year 2000. "Our Iceberg is Melting" is a short story describing a group of penguins facing the challenge of "losing their home" and, how they plan, execute and adapt, as a team, to tackle the issue. Because the story is so well structured, everyone (espeically veteran in different fields) can see how the story of these cute creatures mirrors what we have encountered in our own organizations.

I suggest this book to everyone. Seinor management of organizations can compare themselves with the "leading group" in the penguin clan. Workers in new product line development can compare themselves (and also see how others treat them) with those "scout penguins". Young, and new comers to organizations can compare how their small and light idea can play an important role as ideas and actions by "baby penguins." Lastly, Directors, CEO, and Executive can compare themselves with "Louis" - the penguin King in the group.

I highly recommend this book.
