| Abstract
|
:
|
"According to Kevin Carroll, acclaimed author of the Red Rubber Ball series of books, activities we played in our childhood were far from frivolous time, but rather were productive (even if as kids we did not realize it). What we thought was entertaining was also instructive. Activities we called soccer, tap dancing, marbles, double-dutch, blocks, and tag were also exercises in resourcefulness, planning, strategy, design, decision making, creativity, and risk taking - the same skills required of us at work. In THE RED RUBBER BALL AT WORK: Elevate Your Game Through the Hidden Power of Play Carroll (business motivator and ESPN.com "Power of Sport" columnist) shows business readers how to apply the same skills we used when we played as kids to invigorate 5 key hot-button issues in the workplace: Innovation, Results, Teamwork, Leadership, and Curiosity. He includes over 30 "play profiles" from successful business people, including well-known names like Seth Godin, Malcolm Gladwell, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as well as everyday people whose success comes from embracing a sense of play at work."--Publisher's description
