I Yam What I Yam

I have received several emails questioning why I would put the photo of my office in my post of last week. After all, it DID show a really messy office. But, it is what it is! Or as Popeye the Sailor Man said "I yam what I yam" in a cartoon by the same name from 1933.

I have long felt that if you cannot poke fun at yourself you should not be in a leadership position. Far better poking fun at yourself than slinging arrows at others.

Please Note:

All of the management experiences and conclusions which I may have drawn are those which I have been involved in on a first hand, personal basis. I am not management researcher, recounting experiences of others. My "people centered management" philosophy and culture has its genesis in the mid-1960's when I became influenced by Don Sheriff and Duane Thompson at the (then) Center for Labor and Management at the University of Iowa.

The stick figure drawings, as you can probably guess by noting how poor they are, are done by me.

If you found this blog by accident or referral and would like to be placed on the email list to get reminders about once a month of its existence, follow the link a little ways down to the Richway main site and find your way to the contact page to "sign up". That's an obtuse approach, but it keeps spam at bay. If you want to be off the email list, do the same thing but ask to be deleted.
