There are always big changes right around the corner, and the reactions to those changes often separate the mice from the men. That’s the message of this month’s featured Lawn & Landscape Book Report recommendation.
Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson comes recommended by Tony Nuemann, owner, Sprinkler Solutions, Phoenix, Ariz. The book, a fairy tale-esque parable, examines how embracing change produces results that resisting change prevents.
Without the usual trappings of most self-help books, Cheese is a quick read that utilizes a children’s book format to present very adult ideas about responding to new ideas, directions and goals in business as well as personal life.
“It’s one of those books I’ve been able to read four or five times,” Nuemann says. “And every time I read it I look at it just a little bit differently.”
