An all time favorite: I use it, I share it

These lessons are great for anyone in customer service of any kind.
I have used it several ways to teach staff and to structure staff meetings. Most recently, I sent staff on photo/video scavenger hunts to find "Little Wows" and "Backstage Items". I then had them consider the questions they commonly hear and what they really mean. They made a little video of the Question and the Real Question. We work in healthcare and when they hear, "Are you short-staffed?" from a patient, perhaps they are hearing, "Will you have time to take care of me (and keep me safe)?" Sometimes a coworker will ask, "Are you busy?" as they are going between six rooms at just short of a run. Their first thought might be, "Are you kidding? Yes, I am busy, Are you blind?" But when they learned to hear the question behind the question, they understood, "are you busy?" meant, "can you help me?".
They had a blast and really understood it. Every lesson has great treasures!
This is a MUST read. Then SHARE it.

One of the best business books ever.

I’ve read Lessons from the Mouse no fewer than a dozen times. I make it a point to reread every couple of years and even in between.

Most recently i had my team read this book in advance of our H2 planning retreat. Everyone had positive reviews - from the most junior to the most senior.

I’m a VP of marketing and love the simple and applicable lessons in this book. It never disappoints and each time leaves you inspired in a new way. It’s a short read and easy to digest. It’s great for a team or company of any size and offers simple yet profound ways to transform your work and culture.

10/10 recommend.

Succinct and interesting

Great insights with enough stories to paint a clear picture but not too much that it muddies what is important.
