It’s a good premise in that all relationships are series of conversations. Here’s hoping!įierce Conversations has made its way into the conversation of Steven Covey, John C Maxwell and Ken Blanchard style self-improvement and business books. I hope, with its guidance, I can begin to help turn some of the educational conversations at my school around. I believe that I will refer back to it in the future when I know “fierce conversations” are called for. However, I AM glad I read it and I do feel like I learned a lot. A few people encouraged me to drop it when I said I found it only moderately interesting. This book was not as easy a read for me as “Switch” was I really had to make myself read and finish this book. First, this book was chock full of great quotations! I am really looking forward to getting the students’ take on sayings like: “It is better to fail at your own life than succeed at someone else’s” and “The truth may set you free – but first it may thoroughly irritate you!” Another quotation from the book that really resonated with me is: “You get what you tolerate.” I think somewhere else in the book she said, “You deserve what you tolerate.” OUCH! The chapter on Principle 6 reminded me that everyone experiences everything from their own context, and I need to take that into consideration, along with the words I use when speaking, because the emotional wake I leave lasts and lasts long after I’m gone.Īs I teacher, I also gleaned a few things to take back to the classroom. The chapter on Principle 4 gave an outstanding outline for how to prepare for a “confrontation” on a heated issue. I particularly appreciated the chapter on Principle 4: Tackle Your Toughest Challenge Today and Principle 6: Take Responsibility for Your Emotional Wake. Shoot! But, as the book went on, I found a great deal of guidance on how to address challenging topics with groups of people who hold varying viewpoints. Everything felt too business, too corporate, too CEO… I was struggling to see how this could help me at school. Initially, I was disappointed with the book. According to Scott, “fierce conversations” adhere to several principles:ġ) Master the courage to investigate realityĢ) Come out from behind yourself into the conversation and make it realĦ) Take responsibility for your emotional wakeĭuring the course of the book, all of these principles are explained, examples are given, and the reader is given assignments to help in putting the seven principles into action NOW. “Fierce conversations” are robust, intense, passionate, authentic dialogs that seek to build, educate, and improve the people involved in them. Over the years, workshop attendees encouraged Susan Scott, the CEO of the company, to publish a book to spread her message and help more people engage in “fierce conversations.” To clarify, “fierce conversations” are not yelling, screaming, throwing matches. One star, no doubt.įierce Conversations, Inc is a company that works with business and industry CEOs to help them be more effective leaders and build more effective teams. Of the 20+ books I've read this year so far, this is the one I regret starting the most. Get to the point! Unfortunately, Susan Scott fails miserably at this. The above extract added no value to what she had to say about the central matter and no one is interested in hearing her wax lyrical (and badly at that) about orcas and how the sea looked like. Striking swathes of ultramarine and emerald-green currents stippled the water." Not to be harsh, but this really isn't what most people signed up for when they picked up the book. Here's a sentence selected from the book at random: "From the plane I glimpsed pods of orca whales. You can also tell from her heavy reliance on movies and the way she writes that Scott is essentially a failed novelist masquerading as a businessperson. Statistics would have helped in this book but on the odd occasion she does employ data to back up her points, it comes from random sources like The problem with this heavy reliance on anecdotes is that it's dangerous to derive principles from them (and I would most certainly not live my life a certain way just because "Hey! This movie character said this/ did that!"). in this book she tries to get her points across via Winnie the Pooh, what Scott's high school classmates wrote about her in the yearbook, and reams and reams of movie scenes) Even the simplest messages are wrapped around lengthy stories that run for pages. Here's the crux of the problem: Susan Scott doesn't appear capable of saying anything without using an anecdote or drawing reference from things that should have no bearing on the topic (eg. In short, it is a terrible read because it teaches very little, and the little it teaches is taught in an awful way. I don't usually like to leave negative reviews but this book compelled me to.

md ), and for some reason… probably that i'm typing this on a mobile device, I don't see a preview of MarkDown -> rendered HTML display. This is one of very few adventures into MarkDown (.Conclusion and Closing ThoughtsĪm I missing a flag? Is there a trailing slash that need or need not be in my tar command? For example: a call in your project code could find ~/bin/some-command, but the path would be wrong regardless as root ( / ) is now just a directory inside a directory inside my " In-Progress" directory. I could see this being handy in cases where you wanted to unpack an archive in a specific way to maintain a directory path structure - perhaps with files that were used within your project, some files and directories may need to be in specific locations. I've rarely seen this in the thousands of tar, tgz, zip, and other compressed/combined archives I have unpacked over the years. …command that was run prior to the tar command with the source pointing to the project name and the destination pointing to a long directory tree of empty directories. It's as if there's was a: mkdir -P /Volumes/drive-name/Users/me/Documents/Jobs/GitHub/In-Progress/Project-Name/cats So " cats", once unpacked, has become a directory structure of: /Volumes/drive-name/Users/me/Documents/Jobs/GitHub/In-Progress/Project-Name/cats/all-my-cats-files.Įach of the directories is empty aside from it's parent directory, which it would have to be or the tar command would spend a considerable amount of time packing up the " me", " Documents", and " In-Progress" directories. Opening that directory I see tar has created an entire directory tree of empty directories back to the root drive. tar, gzip, zip, and many others, while maintaining file meta-data, the end result is a directory called " cats". Users/me/Documents/Jobs/GitHub/In-Progress/Project-Name And I create a tar file named " cats.tgz" which I unpack by double-clicking the file - OS X has a native Application that can unpack. When I unpack one of the tar archives, the results are not as expected. LaunchBar's strength is it's ability to be extremely fast at adding and removing from the Index, all with a sub 3MB memory overhead. ( On-site and remote ) I don't waste tons of time in the LaunchBar Index/Preferences - the Index for LaunchBar changes frequently enough it's not feasible to manually exclude finished projects. ( *I don't use "Empty Trash" as supplied by the OS but have selective file removal ( rm ) based on file age and extension ) tgz files(s) that are older than 2 weeks and rm's them, as by that time I haven't touched them and feel it's safe to delete them. I mv the original files in ~/.Trash versus rm'ing them in case tar fails or I need to make last minute changes. My Commands tar cvfz "project.tgz" "project"` mv "project" ~/.Trash What is the official position on using a leading dash in tar arguments? I've see it done three ways: no leading dash, leading dash, leading dash with each argument used individually. I use the g flag to gzip and tar the file in the same command. I have gotten in the habit of archiving finished projects with tar. Enough that it is would be too frequent an operation and too much mental memory overhead, plus locating the file(s) in the index is something I would do too frequently to not automate the procedure. app ) and even harder to hide the Search Index Manager. When I'm done with a project I no longer want it in my index - I can open the index and exclude that project from showing up in LaunchBar, which works, but LaunchBar tries hard to hide itself and it's application bundle (. LaunchBar creates an index of all your files for lightning fast access to your entire file system plus some other application specific niceties, eg: move files, copy files, resize files, play songs, skip songs, add reminders/notes, google search, tight integration with the entire OS, append text, and amusingly enough, you can create. Start typing the first few characters of an app, file, command, shell script, AppleScript, etc., press return, and the command is invoked. Press command-space ( configurable ) and a small window pops up. LaunchBar is an application launcher invoked by a keyboard command. I use the tar command on Mac OS X often, primarily because I rely heavily of find and " LaunchBar". Select how far back you want your browsing history cleared and click "Clear History".
