The Red Rubber Ball at Work [Kevin Carroll]

The Red Rubber Ball at Work: Elevate Your Game Through the Hidden Power of PlayElevate Your Game Through the Hidden Power of Play 

Courtesy of McGraw Hill

Play. It's building a fort out of a refrigerator box or daydreaming new worlds. But, according to Kevin Carroll--the bestselling author of Rules of the Red Rubber Ball -- it's also the foundation for tackling your biggest challenges at work, from innovation and leadership to risk-taking and problem-solving. 

In this fun and thoughtful follow-up to his bestselling Rules of the Red Rubber Ball (2007), Carroll switches the playing field to the workplace, where innovation, motivation, engagement, and teamwork are the headline issues. Drawing on “play profiles” from thought leaders, change agents, and business leaders, he explains how to bring a sense of play into the workplace to stimulate creativity, encourage risk-taking, achieve goals--and have a great time doing it. 

Fully illustrated, with 31 profiles of successful “players” including ESPN president George Bodenheimer, bestselling authors Seth Grodin and Malcolm Gladwell, Food Network host Duff Goldman, South Bronx activist Majora Carter, renowned author Paulo Coehlo, and many others 

About the Author 

Kevin Carroll is founder of the and former Head Athletic Trainer for the Philadelphia 76ers. He speaks fifty times a year and consults with industry leaders at Nike, Disney/ESPN, Gap/Old Navy, Hasbro, Proctor & Gamble, and Capital One.
