5.0 out of 5 stars It's not too late to change the rest of my life, April 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Approaching the Corporate Heart: Breaking Through to New Horizons of Personal and Professional Success (Paperback)
I have just finished reading this book, and felt compelled to tell how much these clear thoughts have helped me. Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that I felt as if the book had been written it just for me !! I have recently returned from a "wilderness experience" in the Kimberley region, which would have to be one of the most spiritual places I have ever visited. I was given this book on the last day, and found I could relate very directly to so much of what is written about the "hero's quest". My life is now so much more meaningful - I am enthusiastic and full of energy. And I love it all ! I am 47, and have been working as a professional economist for over twenty years - and am also a farmer's wife and mother of two young daughters. I am now beginning to understand just what a "cocoon" of risk-averse options I had wrapped myself in - and how a bit of courage, self-awareness, and self-confidence can make such a difference. What a waste - but it's not too late to change the rest of my life. All of a sudden I am not madly trying to juggle all the usual things, but have identified my priorities and determined to introduce a bit of healthy "balance". And it works ! And so my deepest thanks to this contribution to my journey of self-discovery - an intensely personal learning. The future is looking good. I CAN make a contribution - and it will be truly fulfilling.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible book on Leadership, April 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Approaching the Corporate Heart: Breaking Through to New Horizons of Personal and Professional Success (Paperback)
I had decided I was not going to like this book. I was wrong, Cairnes' book captures the Zeitgeist with a critique of traditional directive management. It illustrates the ethos of companies with insight with telling practical examples. The enterprise as a heartless machine is an anachronistic, inadequate notion in an increasingly unpredictable, uncertain environment. There are alternative ways to manage an enterprise and lead your team. Extract from BRW
