Hardcover. Zustand: Collectible-Very Good. In the tradition of Robert Fulghum, this wonderful collection of essays is a spiritual voyage on incorporating 'small decencies' into our daily work interactions so that we can live richer, more meaningful lives. A 'chronic storyteller', businessman, husband, father, sailor, John Cowan weaves a rich tapestry of essays that are appropriate for these times when we are searching for new, more human ways to approach our jobs and live our lives. His canvas is huge: it is business, and all of life. A sailboat ride on Lake Superior becomes a talk on how to manage by using the 'enormous wind (that) has been blowing since the beginning of humankind. It is that force that insists we improve as a race.'. Time spent sitting on the ground becomes a call to managers to have 'their own sacred plot of dirt. One they could sit on regularly, getting grass stains on their shorts, stray ants on their backs, and a little bark from the tree in their hair. A spot where, if they sit for an hour or two, they can remember who they are, and see the world for what it is'. Buying a boat that is two feet shorter than his previous boat becomes a dialogue on the need to pay only for what we really want, rather than what we think we want. Watching his son's hockey game becomes a chautauqua on the joyful challenges of playing the game of work, from scoring goals to being bounced on the ice by a worthy opponent. With gentle assurance and honest insight, Small Decencies reminds us that we can be true to our values both at home and at work, and that the more humanely we treat one another, the better we will be as people, and the better we will be in doing our life's work.
