Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 2539798, member: 7874"] As a newly minted IBMer I was sent to a seminar conducted by Dr. Fredrick Herzberg. The topic was job enrichment and his Motivator-Hygiene theory. There were probably 200 of us waiting for him to enter. There was one extremely large blackboard on wheels. Dr. Herzberg breezed in and wrote in the upper left-hand corner of the blackboard in relatively small letters - KITA. He put the chalk down. He promptly began to lecture and lead interactive situational analyses and experiments. Finally in the last hour of the last day of the week he pointed to KITA. He said everything we discussed relative to creating an environment which allows the employees to motivate themselves works for 99% of the employees. However, there is 1% of employees who need KITA - KICK IN THE ASS. Perhaps student athletes fall into the one percent of students which need Geno's and other coaches' kick ass approach. By the way are you sure the topic you all discussed made the coaches uncomfortable? :D:rolleyes: P.S. I know of at least one professor who taught MBA courses who would return mid-term exams to each student while loudly announcing a student's grade. Less than a B got a long stare and a delayed release of the test. Occasionally if he sensed some number of the students were not understanding his lecture, he would point them out and tell them to remain seated. He would instruct the rest of us to quietly take a 20-30 minute break in hallway. Probably did embarrassed them, but he did help them keep up with the class by tutoring them. [/QUOTE]
