The difference between the two books is seen very easily in the titles. What are the pronouns in the titles? That's right, "MY" and "OUR". Cheese is about dealing with change and Our Iceberg is about leading change. In fact, when cheese first cam out many companies would have their employees read the book just before they would conduct large lay-offs. Ouch! The moral of cheese is simply stated; how do you "deal" when someone else changes your situation. Great words of wisdom guys. The difference between the two books is seen very easily in the titles.

You are right that leaders/managers need to develop the attitude of accepting input/feedback from anyone in the organization. Ganesh Thanks Archana.

I suppose penguins would make more interesting protagonist compared to mouse. Even with "Who moved my cheese" there were no particularly eye-opening/new insights, however the message was so powerful. It made you feel that change was real and tangible, not something abstract. I liked your insights on the shy penguin who actually identified the problem. I think all great leaders possess this quality of being receptive to new ideas, regardless of the souce of the information. Very often leaders make the mistake of judging the message by the messenger. Hi Ganesh,
