Review
Gary,
Forgive the length of this e-mail, but I have been reading your new book on my job trip
and I wanted to send you some thoughts. First, thanks for reminding me why I entered
this profession. The last few years have been frustrating for me, mainly because I have
been torn between the science and the practice of business. While my experiences at
Wichita State and here at Chico have been valuable, I have not done a very good job of
integrating the two. Your book is reminding me why good social science really adds value
to the practice of business, entrepreneurship included.
Second, your anecdotes are fabulous. They are reminding me that the real payoff of our
profession is the ability to exchange ideas with other smart people. I have to say that one
thing I have done well over the past few years is to learn from people who know more
than I do.
You, Ed, Maureen Ambrose, and Joe Rosse are just some examples. I think the best
example you gave of the never-ending process of learning was your encounter with Chris
Argyris. I about split my sides on reading that one.
Third, and this is what qualifies my reading of the book as a “critical incident,” it primed
me for my interview at Illinois State. Though I knew before I went that I wanted a
position that afforded me more time and resources for research, I was able to see the big
picture much more clearly. My research presentation was the best I have ever made. I felt
like I knew my stuff and that while I have been less focused the past few years than I
would like, I had actually done a pretty good job of preparing for my next career phase.
Your book was the final trigger I needed.
So, all of this figures in some “resolutions” on my part. Number one, scholarship is now
my professional priority. When I do practice it will be with an eye toward furthering our
knowledge of entrepreneurship.
Number two, you have taught me the value of fast turnaround time. I have resolved that
when I am working with others, they will get manuscripts and correspondence back as
fast as you get them back to me.
(I do realize how challenging that goal is, by the way.)
This Monday morning finds me optimistic. I believe I have a very good chance of landing
that job and there is every indication that it is exactly where I need to be to accomplish
my professional and personal goals. Thanks once again for your willingness to be a
mentor. One day, I hope to do the same for others.
Best,
