Fit to Succeed: Make Health and Wellness Your Competitive Advantage [Ross H.'s review]

Fit to Succeed gets Ross H.'s vote for change in the workplace:

In a vein not unlike Daniel Quinn's Ishmael series, Steve Heussner has created a modern fable that teaches us new morals for an ever-evolving corporate world.  Falling from the same tree as the "green revolution," Heussner's take on corporate social responsibility through improving health and well-being within the workforce matures perfectly with the current state of health care in the United States, and the election of Barack Obama as a a clear statement by the population of America that change is needed.  Although presented in a simple manner, Fit to Succeed could be the model that corporate America looks to for guidance.

Rather than use statistics and numbers, Heussner has succeeded in producing a quick, riveting story that CEOs, and CFOs could read in one evening and still have enough time to call a meeting for the following morning.  It warns but doesn't scare, makes sense without being patronizing; it's a serious look at the attitudes of employees and employers, and the correlation between healthy lifestyles and productivity.  I would recommend this book to any employee or employer who isn't happy with their health or HMO, as a catalyst for change in their work environments.  In fact, once I was finished I passed it directly to my nearest Management Consultant.
