Book review: The energy Bus!


I have been able to get a lot of reading done on my vacation. I just finished my second book on this trip. It was a great book about team building. It talked about the energy and how energy inspires your team to be fuel by energy. The story formed about a man name George that was having some problems with himself, life, and work. In this story the bus driver gives him 10 rules about The Energy bus that changed his life. Here are the 10 rules:
  • Your the driver of your bus
  • Desire, vision, focus moves your bus in the right direction
  • Fuel your bus with positive energy
  • Invite people on your bus and share your for the road ahead
  • Don't waste your energy on those who don't get on your bus
  • Post a sign that says"no energy vampires allowed" on your bus
  • Enthusiasm attracts more passengers and energizes them during the ride
  • Love your passengers
  • Drive with a Purpose
  • Have fun and enjoy the ride
Its a great read and after reading it had me think alot about my team. The vision and passion of the leader, and how it must be greater than the fear, doubt and disbelief of the team.

Favorite Quotes:
"You must fill up everyday with positive energy, positive thoughts and positive actions. Without it your ride will stall. "
"The goal isn't to be better than anyone else but rather be better that you were yesterday."
