Ubuntu!: An Inspiring Story About an African Tradition of Teamwork and Collaboration Audiobook

" An interesting philosophy in a tedious book. "

" Ubuntu itself is an interesting concept, but the book? Meh. The "plot" is so contrived with needless highlights for the truly clueless. It is a book like "Who Moved My Cheese?" -- totally geared to inspire mindless HR people to put in the Corporate's "library" in hopes of motivating the drones. "

" It was a good story explaining Ubuntu, but the philosophy of Ubuntu is repeated over and over almost painfully so. "

" Rather a simplified writing style, but still an interesting concept. Has to do with Organizational Behavior and how to incorporate the African community concept of ubuntu within a corporation, in particular as a management style. "

" Story bad. Ideas amazing. :) "

" A way to teach good manners and respect without using the bible? "

" I am because we are "

" Ideas are extremely valuable. Story felt a bit forced. "

" A nice motivating story for employees that emphasizes the value of treating co-workers with respect. "

" enjoyed reading this fictional story about what can happen to super employees when they are made supervisors and provide absolutely no training. "

" Light reading - good ideas for business but nothing really new here. "

" It was okay. It was a quick read but I've read business books and uplifting books that were 10 times better. The book BEANS now that's an amazing book in this genre! "

" A good book for managers to give to employees about the importance of team work. About the African philosophy of Ubuntu. Written in story form. short, sweet and to the point. "

" Hard to argue with the concepts, but probably could have been explained concisely in about 10 pages. "

" The Ubuntu philosophy gave me something about which to think. However the story used to convey the philosophy was fictional, yet based on real-life experiences of the authors (as stated by the authors in the preface), and as a result, the many of the situations did come across as contrived. "

" Ubuntu! was a quick read about a fascinating African ethical philosophy. The book does a good job of explaining the concept at a high level, however the fictional story used to relate the concept to the American workplace seemed more suited for a children's book. "

" It is a very relevant book for any teams. Most of the book speaks simply and effectively about Team work and collaboration but some parts do become a little didactic. "
