Synopsis

A Story About Positive Ways to Turn Complaints Into Solutions, Innovations, and Success
Every complaint represents an opportunity to turn something negative into a positive!

It’s Tuesday morning and Hope walks into her office with puffy eyes, a swollen head, and a broken heart. But unfortunately, her company—EZ Tech—is in worse shape than she is. The fact that their computer batteries are catching on fire is the least of their problems. Employees have been posting negative comments about management on blogs for the world to see, the media is attacking the credibility of the company, morale is at an all-time low, negativity is at an all-time high, and the stock price is sinking faster than the Titanic. As VP of human resources, Hope is charged with finding a solution to overcome the biggest challenge in her company’s history. In the process of battling her own adversity, she discovers the no complaining rule and other positive ways to save her company and herself from ruin.

In the spirit of his international bestseller, The Energy Bus, Jon Gordon once again shares an inspiring and enlightening story that reveals a powerful way to tackle the biggest problem in business and life—the negativity that costs organizations billions of dollars and impacts the morale, productivity, and health of individuals and teams.

For managers, ream leaders, or anyone looking to turn negative energy into positive solutions, The No Complaining Rule shares powerful principles and an actionable plan to win the battle against individual and organizational negativity. When you implement the no complaining rule, you’ll spend less time and energy on problems and more time focused on solutions.

4.25 stars // this book came at just the right time for me. It's not a new idea, "turn a complaint into a solution" but it was well explained against the backdrop of a personal story that is compelling and relatable. It's a slim book (2 hours at most). For anyone that's in a crisis or having a hard......more

Goodreads review by pri on April 08, 2009

It definitely did read a bit like an after school special - I could even imagine the accompanying music. And towards the end I did feel very 'blah blah syrup syrup' THE END. BUT - the principle is marvelous. That workplaces lose efficiency due to mindless complaining and that being able to foster an......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on December 11, 2019

Wow. This was a great parable-like book with practical tools and steps to the importance of not complaining. And I love that it doesn’t just say no complaining, because that in and of itself is not realistic or practical. But there are tips as to what to do when you do catch yourself complaining, as......more
