What do your people at work and your spouse and kids at home have in common with a five-ton killer whale? Probably a whole lot more than you think, according to bestselling author Ken Blanchard and his coauthors from SeaWorld. In this moving and inspirational book, they explain that both whales and people perform better when you catch them doing things right.
Whale Done! shows how building trust, accentuating the positive, and redirecting the negative are the best tools to increase productivity. These techniques are remarkably easy to master and can be applied equally well at home.
So learn the difference between GOTcha (catching people doing things wrong) and Whale Done! (catching people doing things right)—and watch your life improve.
"I was thoroughly convinced that punishment was harmful in human relationships, and I realized instinctively that it wouldn't be a smart move with killer whales."
