Summary: A fresh perspective from an industry leader
Comment: I found Business Euphoria to be very refreshing in the ideas and concepts it presents. Every organization can benefit by creating a foundation of trust, tolerance and respect for the individuals involved. This book is about more than what it takes to succeed in business, it's about creating healthy organizational environments that nurture and support growth and change and fun and real life. A must read for leaders everywhere!

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Business Road Map
Comment: Business Euphoria provides a road map for business owners who recognize the value in providing more than lip service to life-balance and community building issues. Robins' real-life experience using Relational Management principles to rebuild Yakima's corporate culture clearly demonstrated the impact Relational Management has on productivity and the overall health of an organization. It is a worthwhile read that provides solutions for any business owner who feels that growth may be eroding the culture and core principals upon which their business and communities were founded.

Summary: More to it than meets the eye
Comment: Mr. Robins has created a very provocative piece that is deceptively ripe with facts, personal accounts and solutions. A quick read that I had to reread several times in order to grasp the breadth and depth of its many concepts.

There are very few that have been bold enough to tackle the task of describing a new organizational model adaptable enough to be applied to any type of organization, corporation, or institution. We are fortunate that Mr. Robins took on this challenge...and with such a conversational approach!

There are far bigger names writing about organizational improvement and far better writers, but few have proposed as simple or as grand a construct. Relational Management, as described by Mr. Robins, is a powerful organizational approach. So obvious and simple, and yet so elusive and powerful. I will never look at an organization the same way again.

As Mr. Robins describes, Western organizations have been constructed to be efficient, but not productive. Product relationships, teams and organizations must be built on trust, respect and tolerance, while being mindful of fundamental principles.

Mr. Robins suggests that we all have a need to belong to something, to have a cause, and to express ourselves. And that these fundamental social needs will playout in every organization, for the better or for worse.

Gangs, Gall and Guts... I couldn't agree more.
