If anything it actually discriminates against introverts. For a decade, I held the goal that one day I would wipe group process from the face of the earth. I came across a textbook called "Staffing Organizations" by Herbert Heneman, which gave me all the ammunition I needed to convince higher-ups that group process needed to go. Then, I got promoted to an Assistant Director job at another institution and found myself in charge of RA Selection. The first thing to go way group process. I applaud anyone who seeks to take down this silly practice. It is a waste of time and predictive of nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947716635081106735.post-5737760220984150562012-02-05T21:34:41.688-08:002012-02-05T21:34:41.688-08:00I also get frustrated when professional staff put ...I also get frustrated when professional staff put down a emphatic "DO NOT HIRE," and when it comes down to it, people get desperate, make excuses, and then we end up hiring people who are COMPLETELY wrong for job (marshmallow bridge building non-withstanding.)CrazyResLifehttp://www.twitter.com/crazyreslifenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947716635081106735.post-53370479233834202342012-02-03T07:09:09.089-08:002012-02-03T07:09:09.089-08:00Oh how I love the marshmallow bridges...If you can...Oh how I love the marshmallow bridges...If you can't make a bridge out of food, how do you expect to bebable to help new freshman adapt to college.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
