Inspired by the leadership and teamwork training video Fish! comes the latest follow up titled Leaderfish! The original film has been a huge success. It focuses on some basic principles like "choosing your attitude" to improve your work environment. I do like the video but feel this falls short of practical leadership training.
Full disclosure: I live in Seattle, visit Pike Place Market regularly and absolutely love the fish mongers. They're hilarious! They spend the day entertaining each other and the customers and have become the biggest attraction at the biggest tourist destination in town! Seriously.
The "Fish Philosophy" goes something like this: your job is what you make it. So why not make it fun? That's a wonderful paradigm that can be applied to all areas of life.
Maybe I'm a cynic (again, full disclosure: I am a cynic) but the stress of a job can be pretty encompassing. That is where the Fish Philosophy faces it's greatest challenge. Work is not always fun. If work was always fun they would call it something else (the word 'golf' comes to mind.) Leaderfish attempts to overcome this obstacle and help supervisors choose a positive attitude in their managerial duties. Whether or not it's successful at achieving these lofty goals remains to be seen.
Leaderfish! has it's place in the training industry. This program is meant to be more of an individual training journey. The product is sold with a vast guide that helps you bring the "fish philosophy" into your personal life. The best thing I can say about this is the price. Compared to the pricey original this is a bargain at $249.00.
