A Peacock in the Land of Penguins: A Fable About Creativity and Courage

by Warren Schmidt, Barbara "B.J." Hateley
RM56.00 MYR
A Peacock in the Land of Penguins: A Fable About Creativity and Courage
A Peacock in the Land of Penguins: A Fable About Creativity and Courage

Fable exploring workplace diversity and creative courage.

If you've ever felt like an outsider in a sea of conformity, this book resonates deeply. It's not just a tale, but a mirror reflecting the real-life struggle of innovating and standing out in traditional corporate environments. It's a call to action for both the 'peacocks' who wish to spread their colorful ideas, and the 'penguins' who need to appreciate the splendor those ideas bring. This book isn't just a read; it's an awakening to the beauty of diversity in the workplace.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Almost everyone has experienced the hurt of not feeling accepted or of not fitting in. People who have good ideas that differ from conventional wisdom are often ignored, even though those ideas can drive innovation. This fable follows Perry the Peacock and other exotic birds as they navigate a conformity-minded land and struggle to be themselves. It humorously and memorably illustrates the importance of embracing diverse perspectives in the workplace and the value of creativity and courage.
