Never Trust The Boar!, July 19 2010
By Robert I. Hedges - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lessons in Pig Farming: A Swine Farmer's Guide For Surviving in Corporate America (Paperback)
I received my autographed copy of "Lessons in Pig Farming" as a Christmas gift. The volume is slim, but makes many good points about surviving in a competitive corporate climate, mostly through analogies to pig farming. The author, Cathy Sumeracki, has experience working at large commercial swine producers and in other aspects of business. The guide is full of proverbs that apply nearly universally in most businesses, but the analogies to pig farming are sometimes a bit of a stretch (e.g. "There's always a pig snout", "Keep your head out of the pig crate", "Move sows gradually along a clear path", "Heterosity is vital for continued process improvement".)The points made are all quite valid, but the stretch to applying pig farming wisdom to modern corporate culture is sometimes a bit much, especially in the example of "Heterosity is vital for continued process improvement", which does not roll off the tongue like many aphorisms of this ilk. Nonetheless, this is a good little book full of very general but applicable survival advice for people entering the business world.
