About this listen

What can you learn from a mouse? When that mouse has been delighting and entertaining hundreds of millions of people for decades - it turns out there is plenty to learn.

Dennis Snow's Lessons from the Mouse provides 10 no-nonsense, practical principles that anyone, anywhere can apply. He entertains while he educates with chapters like "'What Time Is the 3:00 Parade?' Is Not a Stupid Question".

The mouse is very candid here - no Disney pixie dust blinds the reader. Backstage snafus, onstage errors, and occasional chaos emerge in all their drama, humor, or irony. At its heart, though, Lessons from the Mouse presents 10 lessons that guide listeners in applying excellence in their own organizations, careers, and lives. Whether being used as a tool for increased organizational effectiveness or a guide for the college grad or new entrepreneur, Lessons from the Mouse offers timeless, straightforward advice.

An all time favorite: I use it, I share it

These lessons are great for anyone in customer service of any kind.
I have used it several ways to teach staff and to structure staff meetings. Most recently, I sent staff on photo/video scavenger hunts to find "Little Wows" and "Backstage Items". I then had them consider the questions they commonly hear and what they really mean. They made a little video of the Question and the Real Question. We work in healthcare and when they hear, "Are you short-staffed?" from a patient, perhaps they are hearing, "Will you have time to take care of me (and keep me safe)?" Sometimes a coworker will ask, "Are you busy?" as they are going between six rooms at just short of a run. Their first thought might be, "Are you kidding? Yes, I am busy, Are you blind?" But when they learned to hear the question behind the question, they understood, "are you busy?" meant, "can you help me?".
They had a blast and really understood it. Every lesson has great treasures!
This is a MUST read. Then SHARE it.

One of the best business books ever.

I’ve read Lessons from the Mouse no fewer than a dozen times. I make it a point to reread every couple of years and even in between.

Most recently i had my team read this book in advance of our H2 planning retreat. Everyone had positive reviews - from the most junior to the most senior.

I’m a VP of marketing and love the simple and applicable lessons in this book. It never disappoints and each time leaves you inspired in a new way. It’s a short read and easy to digest. It’s great for a team or company of any size and offers simple yet profound ways to transform your work and culture.

10/10 recommend.

Succinct and interesting

Great insights with enough stories to paint a clear picture but not too much that it muddies what is important.
