Non-Fiction Review

Thinking Inside the LiteBlue Box
by Ronald Williams, Jr.
ISBN: 142417189X
Review by Heather Froeschl


Did you receive any mail today? Chances are, you sure did. How did it get to you? You might be surprised to learn the USPS is a business like any other. In Ronald Williams Jr.’s book, “Thinking Inside the LiteBlue Box,” you will see a side of the postal service that you might not have even considered. So what exactly is the LiteBlue? The heart of the matter: the people of the USPS.

Building on his first book, “Deep Inside LiteBlue,” Williams looks at the big picture. What exactly is going on in this business of correspondence delivery? Many of the same issues that go on in nearly any other business. There are management issues, regarding unions and interpersonal problems. There are moral issues. There are safety troubles. There are personality, cultural, and attitude issues. If your local business office has these problems, so does the USPS. What can be done? Williams has numerous ideas, two books full! Chances are that his ideas will work for any business, not just the one he’s inside of.

In his every day guy tone, Williams proves that he’s not just any worker bee in the hive. He takes initiative and shows readers how to do the same, no matter where you work. His encouragement to make the changes you envision, you the every day worker in whatever job you do, is priceless. For every job there is room to improve work conditions. For every job there are several co-workers who will complain but never do a thing, to that one who speaks up and makes things better…or not. At the very least, they have tried. See what Ronald Williams, Jr. has done, and be inspired.
