Put The Magic Back Into Your Business

By Jih Min Cheng and Gracy Yap

Learn nine secrets of achieving career success through smart people management. Each chapter shows examples of the application of sound management principles in a make-believe world set in a distant galaxy. Where animals rule the world and humans are so rare they can only be found outside this universe. Yet these animals face the same management issues as humans on Earth.

During author Jih-Min Cheng's thirty-year career in shopping mall management in Asia, he encountered many amusing and interesting scenarios where issues could have been resolved if the parties involved exercised wise management and leadership skills and communicated their intentions.

This book distills some of Jih-Min's experiences into core life skills that can be learned by everyone interested in improving their management, leadership, and communication skills. Dive into a magical kingdom of animals from the air, land, and sea. How these animals conveyed moral lessons and skillfully navigated the journey of life by applying these core skills. Over nine chapters the skills are explained clearly through fables. Each skill is meant to be discussed and practiced by the reader in a fun and engaging environment.
