I’m the kind of person that geeks out over any type of managerial tool.  When my boss told me we were going to have a big meeting regarding new implementations and ideas utilizing the Kinsey 7S framework I was totally stoked and geeked out for the idea.  I did a ton of research and found some great tools online.
I emailed her my ideas and some tools and formats for such a group meeting and she in turn freaked out on my “geeky†interest. Â
Is this what happens to a person after years of management courses? You actually get excited to a. implement and b. utilize and c. coordinate.  I suppose so.
But I love management tools and systems. Love them. As soon as someone talks about any type of strategy, model or theory I geek out big time. Just say “Maslow†to me and I’m equally geeked out because now we’re talking management and psychology all at the same time.  I can’t take it. Don’t say it….no don’t!!!
