Today was not a great day. This is the fourth set of managers I'm training for this session so I know the material cold. At one point I'm talking about "Type A" and "Type B" people. I was surprised that none of the 11 participants today had heard of the term. After describing the differences the chair of a science department says, "In my experience in this university, faculty are Type A and staff are Type B."
The other 10 participants were all staff and it is safe to say they didn't like being called Type B.
U-G-L-Y.
I did my best. I pointed out that usually faculty in Business/Economics are Type A's but most of my colleagues are Type B's... but it didn't help. The well was poisoned.
In eight hours I will be standing in front of them again to give part 2 of this session. Yippee!
