Alan, having recently had the pleasure of your company on a wonderous hike in the Superstition Wildnerness which gave me the opportunity to admire your mind and feel your heart, I know how important conversation is to you. I'm smiling with you and all my 'geek' J friends (some of whom truly thrive on chaos and complexity) who have, as yet, not had the glorious experience of OST.
Holiday Blessings to you and all your relations, Christine Whitney Sanchez, M.C. Milagro Organizational Consulting, Inc. 2717 E. Mountain Sky Avenue Phoenix, AZ 85048-8990 480.759.0262 voice 480.759.0403 fax "Inviting miracles in our Work!" -----Original Message----- From: OSLIST [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Alan Stewart Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 6:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Experience with geeks :-) in OST forums Hi All My thanks to all those who responded, on and off line, so constructively to my request for experiences with technical people in OST settings. You have greatly expanded my perceptions of the issues and possibilities. And likely too those of the person with whom I am conversing about these matters and to whom I am passing on salient insights from your contributions. Maybe also others on this list benefitted also, as some lovely gems were revealed IMO. I will take up kind offers to come back later with specific questions and for stories. I feel appropriately and duly admonished for neglecting to smile when using the term geek J in the context of this correspondence. There were valid reasons for my choosing the name, not least for a bit of fun and to attract attention! Also the person with whom I am dealing has elected to call her exercise "Geek Week." Further the CEO of Novell says that the name is a badge of honor, although he doesn't often use it. (See "How to Manage your Geeks" in Fast Company) http://www.fastcompany.com/online/25/geeks.html Whatever, I do not use it in a judgemental way. After all, I am an OST practitioner. Good to converse, with love Alan Adelaide
