Summary

Most of the denizens of the Antarctic penguin colony sneer at Fred, the quiet but observant scout who detects worrying signs that their home, an iceberg, is melting. Fred must cleverly convince and enlist key players, such as Louis, the head penguin; Alice, the number two bird; the intractable weather expert, NoNo; and a passel of school-age penguins, if he is to save the colony.
Their delightfully told journey illuminates in an unforgettable way how to manage the necessary change that surrounds us all. Simple explanatory material following the fable enhances the lasting value of these lessons. Our Iceberg is Melting is at once charming, accessible and profound—a treat for virtually any listener.

Table of Contents

“This is the easiest to read yet most informative book I have ever seen. Setting one of management's biggest challenges, ‘what problem, I don't see a problem,' in the context of a melting iceberg and a determined penguin, was a stroke of sheer genius.”           
--Michael Dimelow, Director of Product Marketing, TTP Communications
