Bury My Heart Testimonial

So here I am at my computer listening to the final credits of a copy of “Bury My Heart” on my MP3 player and my eyes are watering up and making it hard to type. This is one of the most moving books on motivation or Leadership that I have ever had the pleasure to listen to or read. Why, because I have been using these principles to manage or supervise people since I was 14 years old. I am in my 60th year now. I have worked with a wide range of people from Migrant workers and Farm hands to Professional Athletes. These principles were taught to me by my father, though I don’t think he did it consciously. It’s just the way he is.

I have often been asked by people that worked under my supervision why I wasn’t a boss. Because I’ve told them, I have to be me in order for you to be you. I’m not in a supervisory level now, But people that used to work for me still come up and ask me about my position 5 years and about me being a Tech. Un-nessasery politics is my response. I’m considered “Unconventional”, “Anti-Management”, and an “Idealistic Left Wing Hippy”. But I always get results and achieve respect and loyalty from the people that have worked for me. My biggest question for the management where I am at is why is the only game in town “Cover your ass”. I have been preaching Work-Life balance for years. To here this phrase in your book with a way to explain it, validated myself to me. Did that make sence? I am wondering how I could introduce this philosophy to my upper management. I don’t know if you can use anything I have written, But thank you for the opportunity.
