Description
BackStory begins with a clarification of what identity is and a description of its existential impact on organizations.
Part One: My Backstory, takes the reader through the shaping of Durbrow’s identity living in the poorest family in wealthy Pebble Beach, working in a stable, becoming an accomplished horseman, an all-league tackle, and captain of an undefeated high school football team. This led to a college football scholarship, rowing on a college crew, training as a dance instructor, assisting a concrete engineer to build a dam, and a few years as a Hollywood stunt performer. Eventually, he returned to college where he flunked out of UC Berkeley, was drafted as the Viet Nam war heated up, became an army officer, and rowed on the US Olympic team in Tokyo.
Durbrow earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska where he was taken in by the President of a Fortune 500 agribusiness who personally instructed him in strategic thinking, giving him responsibilities for projects in the Dominican Republic, Australia, and Alaska, and sponsoring his admission to the Harvard Business School.
