"Far
and away the best business autobiography I know. Vulnerable, honest, and
courageous, it reflects not only the extraordinary soul of the author, but
also the extraordinary potential for 'soul' in the business world. This book
is a must for any growing manager and leader."
"Jim
Autry writes about business people with the grace of a poet and the insights
of a chief executive....He shows us how we can reach into our deeper resources
to achieve an admirable balance and harmony in our own lives."
"Autry's
back - honest, humble, hopeful, human....This memoir will lift the spirits
and smarts of those whose job is to lead others."
"Autry
[shows] how the lessons of leadership are as much about authenticity and
dignity as they are about productivity and profit. If you want to truly
understand what can be learned from the critical incidents of business life,
you must read this book. "
"Most
of us make a living, but all too often we fail to make a life. Jim Autry
movingly and wisely dissects this conundrum by reminding us that business
is about relationships and values; and that, when we understand those
connections, both our work life and our personal life are enriched. He deals
meaningfully with a subject as important as it is neglected."
"Full
of dignity, nobility, and meaning this book will help all of us gain wisdom
in less than a 'lifetime.' It's a short hymn to a great life and also deepens
our understanding of what work is all about."
"A
pleasing antidote to the paeans of self-praise which come out of so many
of the so called 'captains of industry'." Also this book received a lengthy review from USA Today's "Money Bookshelf" on 10/14/96. |
