Move Your Bus
An Extraordinary New Approach to Accelerating Success in
Work and Life New York Times bestselling author and award-
winning educator Ron Clark applies his successful leadership
principles to the business world in this accessible guidebook,
perfect for any employee looking for inspiration and any
manager seeking to motivate his or her team to do their absolute
best.
Imagine a company as a bus filled with people who either help or hinder a team’s
ability to move it forward: drivers (who steer the organization), runners (who
consistently go above and beyond for the good of the organization), joggers (who do
their jobs without pushing themselves), walkers (who are just getting pulled along),
and riders (who hinder success and drag the team down). Acclaimed author and
speaker Ron Clark illustrates how team members fall into these categories, how to
keep the “bus” moving by working together, and how to know when it’s time to
kick the riders off.
Move Your Bus clearly demonstrates Clark’s easy-to-implement strategies to
maximize the performance of each member of a team, inspiring them to work
harder and smarter and drive the organization to succeed.
