The Energy Bus: Ten Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive Energy

by Jon Gordon

New York:John Wiley & Sons, 2007

It’s Monday morning, and George walks out of the front door to his car and a flat tire. But this is the least of his problems. His home life is in shambles, and his team at work is in disarray. With a big, new product launch coming in two weeks for the NRG-2000, he has to find a way to get it together or risk losing his marriage, and job. Forced to take the bus to work, George meets a unique kind of bus driver and an interesting cast of characters who, over the course of two weeks, share the ten rules for the ride of his life. In the process, they help him turn around his work and life, saving his job and marriage from destruction.

In the style of other bestselling business fables, The Energy Bus takes readers on an enlightening and inspiring ride that reveals ten secrets for approaching life and work with the kind of positive, forward thinking that leads to true accomplishments -- at work and at home.

Everyone faces challenges. And every person, organization, company, and team has to overcome negativity and adversity to define themselves and create their success. No one goes through life untested and the answer to these tests is positive energy -- the kind of positive energy that consists of the vision, purpose, and spirit that defines great leaders and their dreams.

Drawing upon his experience and work with thousands of leaders, sales professionals, teams, nonprofit organizations, schools, and athletes, Gordon infuses this engaging story with keen insights, actionable strategies, and a big dose of positive infectious energy.

For managers and team leaders or anyone looking to turn negative energy into positive achievement, The Energy Bus provides a powerful plan for overcoming common life and work obstacles and bringing out the best in yourself and your team. When you get on The Energy Bus, you’ll enjoy the ride of your life.
