GUNG HO

Gung Ho is the Chinese phrase for working together. The Anglicized term gung ho became
widely known in English as a slogan that was adopted in WWII by the United States Marines
under General Evans Carlson. The term was incorporated in the American English to
describe an attitude of enthusiasm and dedication without limits against any activity.
The three driving principles of Gung Ho are:
1. "The Spirit of the Squirrel" teaches a lesson of the power of worthwhile work.
2. "The Way of the Beaver" showcases empowerment.

3. "The Gift of the Goose" shows the exponential factor of motivation.

The Spirit of the Squirrel: Worthwhile Work

The first principle was revealed by watching squirrels running, again and again, to a feeder,
stuffing their cheeks with sunflower seeds, and taking them back to the forest. Why are the
squirrels working so hard? Because they are motivated. What motivates them? If they don't
store up food for the winter they will die. The squirrels are working hard because their work
is worthwhile.

TECHNICAL ENGLISH
The Spirit of the Squirrel can be instilled in people, by focusing on how their job fits into the
2
big picture, how it is important and adds value, and not simply on units produced.
Understanding that their work is worthwhile gives employees self-esteem, which is one of
the most powerful human emotions.
1. To know that we are making the world a better place.
It is how the work helps others, not units dealt with.
2. Everyone works toward a shared goal.
The manager sets critical goals. The team can set the rest.
3. Values guide all plans, decisions and actions.
In a Gung Ho organization, values are the real boss.

The Way of the Beaver: In Control of Achieving the Goal

Beaver method is to be in control to reach the goal first.
Field with clearly marked territory.
Thoughts, feelings, needs and dreams are respected and
acts thereon.
All are capable but subject to challenge.
Share informations for others to make good choices.
Assign jobs that match their skills.

Who is responsible when working?

Everyone knows what to do, and decide to do their work without anyone order them, so a
dam that helps them rise.

To understand that they all have the same goal and have the same values. Take the team,
train and when you are ready just let them do their job.
The administrator must know where they are going.

And team members know where to reach.

This shows us how important our environment is and that this is to find the solution to our
problems, just enough to look beyond our eyes and open your mind a little, because if we
do not, we would be locking in a narrow world.
