1109 - Summary/Objective
1110 -
111001 - Followed up work at ref SDS 6 line 69, ref SDS 3 line 83.
111002 -
111003 - I sent Max the review of Covey's book "7 Habits of ..." and asked him
111004 - to comment on the analysis of "listening" at ref DRT 1 line 22, which
111005 - is at the record, ref SDS 1 0330.
111006 -
111007 - I sent this because Max reviewed the article for Roger Bush on
111008 - "Winning People Over" which discusses listening, and Roger's re-write
111009 - discusses "listening" by saying the same thing over and over 8 times,
111010 - ref SDS 7 line 592.
111011 -
111012 - I did not create a document issued for this submission, but Max
111013 - responds saying he does not agree with Covey's way of analysing
111014 - management issues and prescribing effective practices, ref DRT 1 line
111015 - 32.
111016 -
111017 - Max describes two schools of analysis:
111018 -
111019 - Logic driven, ref DRT 1 line 33.
111020 -
111021 - Touchie-feely, ref DRT 1 line 34.
111022 -
111023 - This is sort of a similar way of viewing things as represented by
111024 - the differences in the report on Roger Bush's presentation about
111025 - "Winning People Over," and his own summary, ref SDS 7 line 430,
111026 - characterized as:
111027 -
111028 - Do we opt for "control" or do we facilitate accomodation?
111029 -
111030 - I describe these alternate schools as "masculine" and "feminine,"
111031 - which is the nature v. nurture perspective. I would not use "logic"
111032 - but rather "experience," per Jeremy Campbell's formulation that
111033 - logic is really an experience driven process.
111034 -
111035 - Max offers to consider my analysis of "listening" if I remove
111036 - references to Covey, ref DRT 1 line 52.
