...Is Gilbreth the greatest man Maine ever produced?<br /><br />Not to my mind. The greatest Mainer is Joshua Chamberlain.

Thanks !<br />I knew perhaps more than average about both Taylor and Gilbreth; never liked Taylor and Taylorism, thought Gilbreth had a lot of good ideas, and was quite a mensch besides, but I'd never actually made the connection to the present day as you have. One more crappy bit of Progressivism fouling us up.<br />What a surprise. The inverse-Midas-touch never fails, does it ?<br />Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-68449664033204499232014-02-12T14:25:15.933-05:002014-02-12T14:25:15.933-05:00WWII bomber gunners had to do that in the dark wit...WWII bomber gunners had to do that in the dark with gloves on, it being really cold at 20K feet and above.<br /><br />And...Anyone can take a good idea and find a way to make it really rotten.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-75965485003701467052014-02-12T08:50:33.525-05:002014-02-12T08:50:33.525-05:00I consider myself goal-oriented rather than task-o...I consider myself goal-oriented rather than task-oriented. The two paradigms are mostly either/or but a smooth blend has usually got the job done for me. If management=goal and labor=task they must exist in a symbiotic balance or both will die. <br /><br />That's why so many individuals with souls and brains are self-employed. Best of both.<br /><br />BTW Sipp, you set some fine examples as an individual and as the head of your clan. The only shortcoming I've noticed is an absence of Polka music in your musical offerings. Sigh, a neglected art form. Yes, art. Perhaps if I donate an accordion the kiddos can whup up something in two-four.chasmatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962911972107586613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-88564932775168824142014-02-11T23:13:35.914-05:002014-02-11T23:13:35.914-05:00You discovered the surrogate article of self-empl...You discovered the surrogate article of self-employment, also known as entrepreneurship if you're well-heeled. You figured that out yourself; I reckon others will too before long. I sense the freedom from soul-crushing PC bullshit and ass-kissery will always have an allure to some, despite inevitable perdition. In short, it's a Yankee thing, and perhaps a Catholic thing. ;)Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086055812844192867noreply@blogger.com
