Move Your Bus

An Extraordinary New Approach to Accelerating Success in Work and Life

By: Ron Clark

Narrated by: Ron Clark

New York Times bestselling author and award-winning educator Ron Clark applies his successful leadership principles to the business world in this effective and accessible guidebook, perfect for any manager looking to inspire and motivate his or her team. Includes a foreword by bestselling author and FranklinCovey executive Sean Covey.

Teamwork is crucial to the success of any business, and as acclaimed author and speaker Ron Clark illustrates, the members of any team are the key to unlocking success. 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). It’s the team leader’s job to recognize how members fall into these categories, encourage them to keep the “bus” moving by working together, and know when it’s time to kick the riders off.

In the tradition of Who Moved My Cheese? and Fish!, Move Your Bus is an accessible and uplifting business parable that illustrates Clark’s expert strategies to maximize the performance of each member of a team. These easy to implement techniques will inspire employees and team leaders alike to work harder and smarter and drive the organization to succeed.

The ending

Amazing book to help me continue to move forward in my restaurant and the ending was literally a tear jerker

Moving:)

This is great! It makes me want to move my bus, and keep it moving!

Excellent!

I enjoy every page of this book. It’s simple, gave great examples and I will definitely try to apply in the organization I work for.

Worth every moment.

This book is worth every moment that it takes to hear it. Be a runner!

Inspiring, Practical, and Energizing

Move Your Bus is a quick but powerful read that delivers exactly what you'd expect from Ron Clark—energy, clarity, and motivation. I really appreciated how he used the metaphor of a school bus to describe different types of workers (Runners, Joggers, Walkers, and Riders) and how their mindsets and behaviors affect an organization. His stories and examples are relatable and easy to apply, especially in a school or team setting.

As someone who works in education, I found this book both affirming and challenging. It reminded me of the kind of leader I want to be and gave me clear, actionable ways to support others while continuing to push myself. This would be a great read (or listen!) for any educator or team leader looking to recharge and refocus.

Highly recommend!
