1. If nothing else can be said for Warren Lehrer you can say that he is excellent at capturing people. I love this book. I've read all the portrait series books (I had to for class) and Claude was my second favorite. Brother Blue was my first. Claude is a captivating guy. I can see why women love him. If you're looking for a book that truly reveals and captures an honestly interesting character, buy this book. Heck, it's worth it just to read Claude's advice for having great relationships.

1. This is the story of an amazing man who made --and gave away --millions of dollars practicing not just good business but good values. A non-religious conscientious objector in World War II and a lifelong rebel, Butcher pioneered socially responsible business practices and innovative entrepreneurship. . A maverick thinker who took up molecular biology later in life, Butcher writes with energy and humor about his forays into "the big questions" of science and life. And he tells how, last year, when he sold his family business, he gave away $18 million to his employees. You'll want to meet this man!

1 comments about My Life in Steel.

1. At the first start of reading the book, it left me pondering on a couple of questions. The first one which pertained to the Great Depression Era - and why the author made little mention of it, but as I was pulled more into the book I realized later why he choose to speak little of it. This book was not designed for the reader to bask in the doom and gloom of that time, although a brief depiction of it would have been welcomed from this intellectual's perspective.
   
   Second, Ruttenberg mentioned the family business was good in 1928. He also stated the store's turnover was over a million dollars, but he did not mention how that was done. Especially during the Great Depression. In my judgment, this void left a big question mark in my mind and maybe in the mind of others to wonder as well.
   
   I believe Ruttenberg wrote this book in a tone that of a concerned father, mentor, and friend engaging in an intimate chat with you to give you good advice on how to attain success in business. Putting all the struggles he experienced behind him he focuses the reader on the road he paved for all to partake. What he has passed down is priceless.
   
   
   This book illustrates never-ending depictions of the power struggles found in the early Union era.
   
   "Due to the management clause found in the collective bargaining contracts in basic steel which gave management freedom to determine unilaterally all policies and decisions outside the realm of their contracts with the USWA. By this clause and their subsequent behavior, the major steel CEO's and managers consistently refused any union-management cooperation programs".
   
   This dilemma between union-management is the reason why Phillip Murray stayed with the ultimate union objective of selling the labor of its members for a price in cash and benefits. He realized the clash of class.
   
   Throughout the book you will find chock full of wisdoms buried within it. Valuable business lessons from an old pro. Harold Ruttenberg was a great leader and unifier of men and women. There are great leadership principles to be found in the book that is still applicable today.
   
   
   Ruttenberg in this book substituted the pessimism of the Great Depression by presenting optimistic solutions by stating that:
   
   "Steel runs to the heart of America's basic industries. Put it on an annual-wage basis and the fluctuations in industrial production will vanish. America will be on the road to abolishing mass, chronic unemployment".
   
   
   Bursting with energy, Harold Ruttenberg was the one-time leading authority in Union-Labor Relations management. He also was a loving husband and father. He worked and lived his life to his fullest capacity.
   
   If you want to become an expert unionist, then follow Harold Ruttenberg's life work. You cannot go wrong. He has already laid the groundwork. All is left to do is follow his tracks to the direction you want to take your career in Union - Labor Relations management.
   
   You will find what emerges from this book is an inspiring tale and vivid portrait of a remarkable man's many achievements and success against overwhelming odds.
