Review
“I’ve been talking about seagull management for years. If you want to understand how to turn it around, read Travis Bradberry’s Squawk!” (Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager (R) and The One Minute Entrepreneur (TM) )
“There are several powerful leadership messages woven into this entertaining and memorable parable—teaching me when I was least prepared (and most ready) for it. I have a list of ten colleagues who will be getting a most-unexpected gift.” (Kenneth Forster, director, Global Customer Strategy, the Coca-Cola Company )
“Dr. Bradberry provides a wonderful solution with an easy-to-understand and utilize three-step model that allows you to engage your team and generate improved results. Read it, and you’ll see a positive change in your future!” (Robert Savage, COO, Taco Bell, Yum Brands )
“Squawk! is simple, yet powerful, and very entertaining. It provides a valuable illustration of how to get more from your team, and I was able to get through it in just one flight.” (Dennis Sadlowski, president and CEO, Siemens Energy and Automation )
“Squawk has a central theme I find near and dear—the tendency of managers to move so fast from problem to problem that they forget people are involved. People need time and attention, and this book is an important reminder that great management doesn’t happen on the fly.” (Stephen Lundin, coauthor of Fish! (R) and author of Cats )
“Companies are losing their top talent every day, and many of those departing do so on entrepreneurial wings. If you want to prevent this and learn to keep your flock together in friendlier skies, read this little fable and take its big lessons to heart!” (Michael E. Gerber, bestselling author of the E-Myth and Awakening the Entrepreneur Within )
“Squawk! is as profound as it is fun! A must-read for every manager.” (Ron McMillan, bestselling coauthor of Crucial Conversations, Crucial Confrontations, and Influencer )
Product Description
Unfortunately, we’ve all seen it happen. When faced with a problem, rather than working cooperatively to come up with a solution, your manager or colleagues come swooping in, squawking loudly, dump orders riddled with formulaic advice, and then take off, leaving you and everyone else to clean up the mess. Or—let’s be honest: there may have been a time (or three) when you have been guilty of doing that very thing yourself.
While this happens in every workplace worldwide more frequently than ever, it doesn’t have to. Through the story of Charlie, a seagull who doesn’t understand how his management actions are holding back his flock, Travis Bradberry, Ph.D., reveals the three virtues of great leadership that he has used to help thousands of people and organizations deal with seagull managers in the workplace and, just as important, to avoid being one themselves.
Charlie the seagull is a well-intentioned manager who, when faced with new challenges after previously leading his flock to success, fails to understand how his management style is holding back, rather than helping, his team. Through our bird’s-eye view of Charlie, overconfident Scott, quiet Maya, practical Yufan, and skinny, shy Alfred, we see them and the rest of the flock struggle to solve their problems while absorbing the three virtues of great leadership and teamwork along the way. This entertaining and illuminating fable will help make us all more productive, less prone to depositing messes on the heads of those around us, and more able to work effectively with those who continue to squawk at us every day.
