Book Description:
* Shows how to create an organizational culture that is fun and productive; create and sustain motivation; and retain your best employees

* Examples and case studies from real-life companies — including Pike Place Fish and Southwest Airlines — illustrate the principles of Work/Fun Fusion

Fun Works presents real-life case studies and interviews with dozens of leading authors, companies and individuals that illustrate eleven important principles for creating a fun—and productive and profitable—workplace. Fun Works provides tips, resources, examples, and motivation to make it easy and fun to unleash the power of fun in yourself, your coworkers, and your customers! ‘Gurus of Fun’—authors and experts—offer their spin on each principle. Lest you say, "That’s all well and good but will it work in my industry?" Fun Works shares the voices of individuals, diverse in their backgrounds and professions, who express how work and fun merge for them. An inventory of behaviors will give you concrete indicators of how well you have integrated fun into your work experience.

Perhaps it is my age, 50's, but the examples and the "fun" don't work for me. It may also be my profession - software/hardware quality assurance. Although over the years I've learned it is better to keep things lite when telling someone their baby is ugly. I also did not like her writing style and cannot put a finger on exactly why. Sorry for an incomplete review, just didn't like the book.
