A powerful story about the African philosophy of teamwork and collaboration that has the power to reshape our workplaces, our relationships with our coworkers, and our personal lives, written by the bestselling coauthor of "Fish " and the bestselling author of "1001 Ways to Reward Employees."
John Peterson, a new manager in the credit department at a major big-box retailer, is struggling in his job. The people under him are not working as well or effectively as they need to, and his department is falling behind in meeting its goals. His only solution is to take on more work himself, burning the midnight oil and coming in most weekends to pick up the slack and keep his department above water.
When one of the employees stays behind to help him--a young man who came to America from a small village in Africa--he learns of the ancient wisdom and hidden power of the African philosophy of Ubuntu. Before long, it begins to change the way he thinks about the people he works with, about himself, and about how he runs his department and his life.
In an engaging and completely fresh narrative that holds a unique message for today's business world, "Ubuntu " shows us a way to overcome our fears, insecurities, and the "me-ism" that so often permeates our workplaces, and replace it with a culture of genuine respect and collaboration. It promises to take its place alongside "Fish " and other business parables as the next bestselling classic in the business category.

Still Grousin' Buddies is a sequel of sorts to our first book, Grousin Buddies (Authorhouse 2005). More tales of fins, feathers, and friends, this edition brings more of the same, life lessons learned afield with the people we care most about. Although arranged by chapters of similar content, each story and poem stands alone. Each an unique experience, yet not so different than those of others who love the outdoors and the bounties it has to offer. Our goal is to find a connection with our readers, a moment that is part of the shared human experience.

As our good friend, Retz, often says, "Life just keeps comin' at ya." This book is all about life with its fickle little twists and turns. We (the authors) met playing volleyball and grew to be best friends, business associates, and hunting partners. In our 30+ years of friendship we have played, laughed, loved, cried, and grieved together. Set against the backdrop of Northern Wisconsin, the stories in this book were not written specifically to go into a book. This book "just kind of happened" because of our love not only of writing but of the people, places, and events that shaped our lives; it happened because of our passion for the outdoors, its lessons, beauty, and bounty. Light a fire, grab a libation, put your feet up and share a bit of life with us.
