Comments on: About Harrison http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:19:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Rachael http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/about/#comment-3911 Rachael Fri, 15 May 2009 16:19:29 +0000 http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/?page_id=2#comment-3911 Mr. Barnes, I just recently applied for a position on the BCG site and as a result was sent your newsletter. I usually delete these types of emails, mostly because I am just so busy and only have so much time in my day to read email. Today, however, I read your articles on suffering, which then lead me to read your article on unlearning and controlling your internal world. I want to thank you for these articles. They have given me a lot of personal insight into my own struggles with career. I am officially a fan. Thank you. Mr. Barnes,

Begley Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:01:59 +0000 http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/?page_id=2#comment-3500 To Harrison Barnes: I read your posting of April 17, 2009 with great interest. I like your approach, and you are a better writer than I, and you obviously reach a much greater audience than I ever will, so I have a suggestion or two for future topics. POINT 1 - The need for additional self education. I was first an engineer, then, after 15 years as a construction engineer, an attorney. Why did I do it? Because it was clear to me it is difficult to practice law in a technical area, without a background in it, OR educating yourself. I have worked with attorneys who know nothing about boating and yachts who were handed insurance subrogation matters involving yacht losses. He immediately read Chapman's Book on Boating, and other books, to educate himself. It is very basic and obvious, but too few people are willing to put in the time to adequately educate themselves, OR to use their experts to educate them, and sometimes, they should bring in other experienced counsel, because they may not understand engineering or medicine, and their experts do not understand the legal system or' legalese'. I have been called "the Rosetta Stone" by an attorney that hired me to help him with a technical engineering matter (I have also been called by another attorney his "hit man"). ALMOST NO ATTYS DO THIS - WHY NOT? For smart people, attorneys are often very stupid. POINT 2: This is kind of related to Point 1, but I worked with a couple attorneys, where their matters had a great outcome, and resolved rather quickly after I was involved. Then, nothing for about 18 months, so I called. The reason they had not called me back, was those matter resolved too quickly for them, they did not make enough money on them! At intake of a matter, they estimate how long it will take, how much billing it will generate, etc. Because it resolved too quickly, they said they "lost money" on them, that they are better off putting 3 associates on it for a year to get the answer, than hiring a consultant who will help them resolve it quickly. For smart people, attorneys are often very dumb. Doesn't it make sense that IF you resolve matters quicker, with better results, that you will end up getting more, not less work, and perhaps more interesting and complex work? NEED TO WORK DIFFERENTLY - Attorneys will adopt technology fairly quickly, but as a group they are refusing to change the way they do business where it benefits the clients, but appears to reduce their short term income. If we do not change, change will be forced upon us. I have gone on long enough. Thanks for your writings. Be well. Kevin J.
