Nominated Best Storytelling 2009 Just Plan Folks!
Thanks to Hans Christian Anderson, you already know the story of the Little Match Girl who froze to death selling matches on a street-corner on New Year's Eve. But what about the managers who woke up the next morning (their day off!) to deal with the mess? How did they get in the situation in the first place? More importantly, how did they get out of it? What is the role "Brainstorming Sessions" and is there really no such thing as a bad idea? Is it possible to be TOO fawning to a boss? How can blaming foreigners for one's problems solve one's crisis?
What more COULD there be in a novel so slim (and cheap)?
Well, in addition to all these thought-provoking notions, ICE Girls also considers:
The Princess and the Pea as seen by the Prince who ends up married to a lady whose only qualification is her innate ability to complain about the tiniest little thing. Is the ability to complain the best thing to look for in a mate?
The Red Shoes as seen by the Deity who hacks off the feet of dancers. Not necessarily just a critique of modern dance, but what kind of religion does such a Deity engender?
The Emperor's New Clothes as seen by frustrated revolutionaries who convince the Emperor to wear his new clothes in public. Is it possible for intellectual revolutionaries to over-think?
The Story of the Steadfast Tin Soldier as seen by the of the object of his adoration, the one-legged ballerina. This, one of the first romantic-stalker tales asks if being pursued by a lunatic is the carefree romp as portrayed in the media.
All of these questions are answered in "ICE Girls: What Managers Can Learn from the Story of the Little Match Girl by One Who Was There."
