Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
In Whale Done! by Ken Blanchard, the book draws lessons from killer whale trainers to illustrate effective ways to improve relationships and boost productivity through positive reinforcement. By observing how trainers encourage desired behaviours in whales, it guides readers in applying similar techniques in personal and professional settings to build trust, encourage growth, and foster a positive environment. This approach focuses on accentuating the positive rather than highlighting the negative to enhance performance and relationships.

Whale Done!

What do you think would happen if instead of trying to catch people doing something wrong, we started trying to catch people doing something right?

What do your colleagues, spouse, and kids have in common with a five-ton killer whale?

This work explains that both whales and people perform better when you accentuate the positive. It shows how using the techniques of animal trainers – specifically those responsible for the killer whales of SeaWorld – can supercharge your effectiveness at work and at home.

It explains the difference between 'GOTcha' (catching people doing things wrong) and Whale Done! (catching people doing things right).

A management classic from the author of the multi-million-copy bestseller The One Minute Manager.
