In the latest, freshly updated edition of Make the Right Choice: Lead with Passion, Elevate Your Team, and Unleash the Fun at Work, renowned keynote speaker, improv actor, and comedian Joel Zeff delivers a unique, interactive, humorous, and highly entertaining blueprint to create a new approach to work that is inspiring, fun, and infinitely more effective. Filled with self-contained chapters that will make you laugh and nod your head in agreement, this book has everything readers need to increase engagement, communicate more effectively, and create a positive and successful work environment.
You'll find hilarious and insightful observations on everything from “The Six Sprinkles on the Leadership Cupcake” to seven underappreciated—and effective—ways to create a culture of fun and enthusiasm at work.
This book is inspired by Zeff's extensive experience playing improvisational games with thousands of employees, managers, and corporate leaders at companies like Walmart, KPMG, and PepsiCo. In this book, readers will learn how to:
Make the choice to be fun, passionate, and happy and stay in the game when the going gets tough
Create magic chemistry to success through positivity and opportunity and communicate in the moment
Start utilizing the creative mind more effectively and establish a foundation for seamless teamwork
The polar opposite of a boring business book, the revised and expanded edition of Make the Right Choice earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of managers, business leaders, and all individuals seeking a more fun and fulfilling approach to work. By the time you get to the last page, you'll have embraced Zeff's TA DA philosophy and transformed the way you work and lead.
As a national speaker, work culture expert, and humorist, JOEL ZEFF captivates audiences with a unique blend of hilarious improvisational comedy and essential ideas on work and life. Zeff has spoken at more than 2,500 events, with corporate clients including Walmart, McDonald’s, KPMG, AT&T, Wells Fargo, and PepsiCo.
