After the shock of hearing what other people truly think of him, 'Crocodile' Charlie Kingmore embarks on a Quest. He has an urgent need to find the Secret of unified teams, productive people, and human happiness at work. It's that, or give up on his dreams for his own success.
What to do?
If you work for a living, work with other people, or ever need to inspire and lead those around you, then Charlie's journey for the Answer can be your journey too. Join authors John Kolm and Peter Ring, two of Australia's leading practitioners in this area, on Crocodile Charlie's six-month Quest around Australia to find some real results. Share in the expertise of industry leaders like Toyota, Alcoa, BHP, Cisco, Michelin, Rydges, Tattersalls and Westpac—all clients of Team Results, John and Peter's company—which form the basis of Charlie's adventures. If you have tried all the mundane approaches and are still looking for something more, maybe it's time you discovered... The Holy Grail.
