The newest team member at Balanced WorkLife, Michelle Agner successfully combined her process-focused engineering background with her marketing interests, even when all the creatives on her team laughed at the campaign flow diagrams she constantly drew. That same team also beat the corporate jargon and grammar snob out of her so that her writing no longer put them to sleep. She’s thankful for their tough love, and hopes you are, too.
Exactly, Amy. And I hadn't consciously realized that I was even applying a stereotype until he disproved it. Which made me expand my view to other Millennials I know - who also dispel the myths - and saw just how sweeping some of these generalizations are. Thanks for your comment!
Loved this, Becky. Funny how the most powerful words in business are just as powerful in all areas of life. Especially #6 & #12!
Miles, you're my hero! Just yesterday I was slogging through twitter keyword streams via HootSuite thinking "there's got to be a better way!" And now there is: thank you for the inboxQ tip. I already found some useful connections.
A very enjoyable read, Dr. Crosby! A quick keyword analysis indicates there are a multitude of folks looking for info on how to "pass" assessments. Your point that every personality trait has strengths and weaknesses is quite accurate. "Successfully" gaming the assessments could inadvertently put a candidate out of the running!
I really like the "cluttered canvas" perspective, Srinivas! And Ameena's comment is golden. Thanks for writing this post - I enjoyed it!
Thanks for the clarity, Chris. Great analogy. Made me realize that I gravitate toward the feathers due to ease of completion, and that some focus on bricks is clearly in order. Thanks again!
Having spent a few years in the past with a firm that only had ever-changing tactics (no principles, strategies, or practices), I have great appreciation for your message here, Ted. Thanks for the clarity.
All good points. I value my college education, despite its shortcomings, but as an in-state student with a parent who worked at the University, I only paid about $10k for my degree. A value, even then, unlike today's rates. As I contemplate my 9 year-old's eventual path, I'm uncertain what will serve her best. I like the statement about college being a service industry. So true!
