"'Crocodile' Charlie Kingmore" is a fictional plumber who propels the action in Crocodile Charlie and the Holy Grail. Charlie, whose full name is an anagram of his creators John Kolm and Peter Ring, serves as a vehicle for the secrets behind finding happiness at work. He takes a quest around Australia, learning techniques for successful management, leadership, and team building.

Co-author John Kolm performs this epic journey in an engaged voice honed over years of public speaking engagements and through his experience running Team Results, his team and leadership business that boasts offices in Australia and D.C. The book was a best seller because its wisdom isn't delivered in the usual dry fashion: the personalized narrative brings the wisdom to life.
