Publisher's Summary

The stories about Stan Slap are so remarkable that they seem like myths: He brought a room full of top-level Microsoft managers to tears, leaving them cheering "I'm hurting, too!" After a single speech at Patagonia, the company asked him to join its board of directors. One CEO described him as "Stephen Covey meets Nine Inch Nails". All this from a man who never graduated from business school, college, or even high school.

Bury My Heart at Conference Room B harnesses the awe-inspiring insights of Slap's life-changing management workshops. The book is a powerful tool for creating emotional commitment in managers. That means unchecked, unvarnished devotion to the company. If you've ever witnessed a human being emotionally committed to a cause - working like they're being paid a million when they're not being paid a dime - you know that discretionary effort is worth more than their financial, intellectual, and physical commitment combined. Through unexpected case studies and a battle-tested self-assessment program, Slap shows how to help people live their deepest personal values at work, with huge payoffs for the companies that support their engagement.

great theory! wish there were more story examples

Great theory that can be applied on a large, or even a smaller level.

The first 70-100 pages were okay, but I found a little dry. Up until the Microsoft story of the VP of global sales, and it gripped my attention for the rest of the book.

I would say this book would have been an international best seller IF there were more real life examples, and specifically real stories from well known companies. It's what pulls people in further.

overall a valuable read, and I will aplly the thinking to my own business
