Throw away your text books and ignore everything you learned in supervisory training classes. Instead, study the wisdom of Tiger Mike, an oil baron and a visionary management guru. In addition to his leadership genius, Tiger Mike (LSU grad?) was a brilliant wildcatter who drilled 49 consecutive dry holes (industry record?) and a snappy dresser (“Tiger Mike’s wardrobe consisted of only one-piece khaki polyester leisure suits with white shoes and white belt.”) Truly inspiring!
I saw paper copies of these memos in the pre-internet days, and am pleased to see that they are now posted on the web, so that everyone can benefit from Mike’s wisdom 🙂
