Farmer's Daughter - Crystal Bowersox
- Band Name: Crystal Bowersox
- Record Label: Jive
- Release Date: Dec 14, 2010
- Summary: The major-label debut from the American Idol star sticks to her style on the show--folk-tinged, reflective rock reminiscent of the early-'60s era.
- Record Label: Jive
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Contemporary Singer/Songwriter
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 6
Mixed: 4 out of 6
Negative: 0 out of 6
Jan 4, 2011She has a keen, finely honed pop instinct all her own.
Dec 13, 2010When the production and the outside songwriters stay out of her way, Bowersox expertly works the territory between folk and country.
Dec 13, 2010Her debut album, Farmer's Daughter, is consistent with the singer-songwriter's public persona, then, because it finds her attempting to rise above production values that are fundamentally at odds with what she does well.
Dec 20, 2010All in all, Farmer's Daughter is better than you might expect, which isn't to say it's great. Too many tracks aim straight for the middle.
Dec 9, 2010If Farmer's Daughter feels like one of the most genuine Idol-contestant debuts yet, it's also one of the dullest, with Bowersox hitting every note exactly the way you expect her to.
Dec 13, 2010If she had the right co-writers, the kind who could pull melodies out of her sincere strumming and down-home jamming -- the kind the whole American Idol empire was designed to bring into the equation -- Farmer's Daughter would deliver on Bowersox's promise instead of sounding like a local singer/songwriter performing on a stage she's too modest to fill.

Dec 15, 2010Crystal's songs are beautiful and her lyrics are honest and real. I love her melodies and have to say, I really like the songs she writes without anybody else best. I'm looking forward to seeing Crystal's career blossom. I do prefer songs like Holy Toledo, Farmer's Daughter, and Speak Now, that have a folky sound to them. I prefer that to the more country sounding songs but all in all, this is an excellent debut.… Expand
Dec 18, 2010As promised by the end of the show, Crystal brings back the 60s folksy, throw-back music with a up-to-date sound in her debut album "Farmer's Daughter". She explores the different genres in its root-sy forms and puts her trademark soulful grit making the debut one of the most original Americana music currently on the shelves. This CD could actually teach kids about the history of music and how it has evolved to what we hear today, it has that much diversity in it. Moreover it also touches the soul of the listener with also being one of the most personal albums ever put out. Lyrically brilliant songs like Farmer's Daughter and Holy Toledo should garner the attention of the award critics and the whole album just takes us on a journey into the life of an artist who has lived. I give this album an absolute 10/10. Congratulations Crystal!… Expand
Dec 14, 2010Despite occasionally treading some pretty unexciting territory, Farmer's Daughter is a very strong debut for Idol's folk-tinged Crystal Bowersox. Her songwriting is honest and thoughtful, a refreshing change from the typical post-Idol fare. Crystal might not blaze up the charts with her old-school sounds, but her future is very bright if this album is any indication.… Expand
Dec 20, 2010This would be a strong debut album from any artist, I don't listen to this type a music and I gave it an 8. Its my second favorite album for and Idol artist, the first being Allison Iraheta's debut from last year.… Expand
Dec 14, 2010Crystal has a pretty voice, these songs are so boring they put me to sleep! Very weak, country leaning album! So Crystal "Whatever happened With the good old rocking roll" sure is not on this album. Maybe should of got some pros to help with your so so writing skills! Disappointed fan.… Collapse

St. John's picked up a win in its most recent outing as well, but had to step out of conference in order to do so as it got past visiting Dartmouth last Saturday in a 69-55 final. The victory put the brakes on a five-game slide for the Red Storm, who will play the finale of their current three-game homestand tonight. SJU is 8-3 in front of the hometown faithful this season, and it will play its remaining home games at New York's famed Madison Square Garden.
St. John's owns a 55-34 lead in the all-time series with Seton Hall, but the Pirates have won six of the last 10 meetings. The two teams will meet in Newark on Feb. 13 to close out the regular-season series.
Fuquan Edwin drained 5-of-8 3-point attempts on his way to a game-high 24 points, as he helped Seton Hall notch a double-digit win at Georgetown last weekend. Support came from Sterling Gibbs (11 points, nine assists) and Eugene Teague (10 points, nine rebounds), as the Pirates made up for a 39.2 percent overall shooting effort by hitting 11-of-20 long-range launches. The Hoyas converted 17-of-21 free throws, but shot only 34 percent from the field, missing 14 of their 18 3-point tries along the way.
Gibbs (15.3 ppg, 4.4 apg) continues to pace the Pirates in both scoring and assists, while Edwin (12.6 ppg, 3.2 spg) contributes at both ends of the court. Teague is nearly averaging a double-double with 10.7 points and 9.4 rebounds per outing, for a team that puts up 76.3 ppg behind typical shooting efforts of .447 overall, .366 from beyond the arc, and .734 from the charity stripe. Defensively, the Pirates are permitting 71.4 ppg, with foes draining 43.0 percent of their total shots, which includes a 37.0 percent mark from distance.
St. John's finally broke out of the doldrums in its recent clash with Dartmouth, despite a lackluster shooting performance (.393). Phil Greene IV led the Red Storm with 16 points, as he nailed four of the team's eight 3- pointers, and he was joined in double figures by JaKarr Sampson who tallied 13 points on 6-of-12 shooting. Orlando Sanchez grabbed 10 rebounds, but went just 3-of-10 from the floor to finish with eight points. Dartmouth was held to 34.5 percent field goal efficiency, with the Big Green really struggling in the second half (.267). SJU forced 15 turnovers and held a sizable margin in points from the foul line (17-6).
D'Amgleo Harrison is one of the more dynamic performers in the Big East, and he is averaging 18.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. However, Harrison had only nine points in the win over Dartmouth, as he went just 2-of-6 from the field. Sampson (11.9 ppg, 6.4 rpg) is the only other double-digit scorer on a club that typically generates 73.2 ppg while allowing 67.8 ppg. The Red Storm are limiting their opponents to just 39.7 percent accuracy from the floor, and they do a nice job confusing them as they force more than 13 turnovers per outing.
While the Pirates are sure to put forth maximum effort against a long-time rival, expect the Red Storm to close out this year's run at their on-campus arena on a positive note.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: St. John's 70, Seton Hall 65

Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Adickes likes to joke he's gone from making patients to fixing them.
"For me it was all about doing something with the rest of my life that one, could tie my two careers together and two would be really interesting and challenging."
He knows all about challenging. The first round draft pick out of Baylor played two seasons with the USFL. Then four years with the Kansas City Chiefs and then on to the Washington Redskins where he was part of the 1991 Super Bowl
championship team. He says all those years he developed what most players do, tunnel vision, seeing nothing besides or beyond football.
"Anyone who is playing the sport at an elite level such that they can play professional sports isn't thinking much about anything else."
He wasn't part of it, but he's glad the players have settled the lawsuit with the NFL and he says while all the focus is on concussions nowadays there's something else. He remembers getting into what he calls "hitting shape" before every season.
"Everyone calls it helmet head which is an excruciating headache that doesn't go away for about a week while you get used to smashing your brain around in your skull."
He says eventually your brain swells that's not good either and may have long term consequences as well.
He had nine concussions but made it out of the game mentally okay after being injured. Okay, enough to go back to college, then to Harvard Medical School. He knows he's lucky.
He thinks the game is getting safer but for the pros it doesn't really matter. When you combine the rewards of the game and that tunnel vision, few factor in the long term risks.
"For the guys that don't have another alternative, they're not going to run off to law school or med school or engineering school and they can play football and put together a nest egg that will last them the rest of their lives. I don't think there's anything you could say that would dissuade them from playing."
He says his own sons play ball now and it worries him. Should they start getting concussions or any injuries that could affect their long term health, he will sit down and talk to them about quitting the sport.

More than anything else, Ray Harroun considered himself an engineer who claimed that he raced only to observe his creations being tested in battle conditions. So it's no surprise that the man nicknamed "The Little Professor" helped design and build the Marmon Wasp that he drove to victory in the inaugural Indianapolis 500-Mile race in 1911.
The '500' was actually one of the last races that the native of Spartansburg, Pennsylvania competed in. Born in 1879, Harroun was one of the top drivers in the earliest days of automobiles and racing, setting records for over-the-road competitions from Chicago to New York in 1903 and '04.
Records from the era are not complete, but Harroun contested at least sixty American Automobile Association-sanctioned races that were the predecessors of modern Indy car racing. In fact, Harroun won no fewer than seven shorter races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway prior to his famous triumph in the first Indianapolis 500. In 1927, the AAA retroactively named Harroun its 1910 National Driving Champion.
Only a part-time racer, Harroun worked for the Marmon Motor Car Company, an Indianapolis-based automobile manufacturer that produced cars from 1902-1933. From the very start of the project, he was directly involved with the racing car that became known as the Wasp due to its distinctive yellow and black paint scheme.
One key feature of the Wasp that Harroun was given credit for is the development of the rear-view mirror, a device he successfully used in his Indianapolis win that eliminated the need for a riding mechanic and spotter. The creative solution to traffic management was something Harroun had seen on a horse-drawn taxi several years earlier when he served as a chauffer in Chicago.
While Harroun's was the only entry that didn't feature a riding mechanic, his co-driver Cyrus Patschke drove approximately 35 of the 200 laps in the middle of the race. Harroun or Patschke led 88 of the final 97 laps to complete the 500 miles in 6 hours, 42 minutes and 8 seconds, for an average speed of 74.602 mph to claim first place prize money of $14,250 from a total purse of $30,150.
Harroun's eschewing of a co-driver led to one significant technological development still utilized in road and racing cars today: The Marmon Wasp featured one of the first known uses of a rear-view mirror, inspired by a creative solution to traffic management Harroun had seen on a horse-drawn taxi several years earlier when he served as a chauffer in Chicago.
The 1911 Indianapolis 500 was the last major race of Harroun's driving career; his last documented start was a 3-mile race he won at the Fort Wayne (IN) Driving Park in September, 1911. However, he continued his association with automobiles and racing. He led Maxwell's racing program in 1914-15 and developed a carburetion system for kerosene that allowed Maxwell driver Willie Carlson to complete the 1915 Indy 500 using just 30 gallons of fuel.
In 1917, Harroun moved to Michigan and formed the Harroun Motor Sales Corporation, which produced automobiles until it folded in 1922. He remained involved in automotive or military engineering for pretty much of the rest of his life.
Harroun and the Marmon Wasp made a pair of significant final appearances at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway; he drove demonstration laps in the 1911 winner before the start of the 25th running of the Indianapolis 500 in 1937, and again in 1961, on the 50th anniversary of his victory in the inaugural race.
The Marmon Wasp is a significant piece of Indianapolis Motor Speedway history that permanently resides in the IMS Hall of Fame Museum. The famous car's most recent outing came prior to the Centennial Edition of the Indianapolis 500 in 2011, with 1963 Indy 500 champion Parnelli Jones at the wheel.

The Navy Bumblebee program was created at the end of WW-II to develop a defense against the Japanese kamikaze threat. The program was to develop a jet propelled, guided anti-aircraft missile. The result was the Navy's 3-T Missiles – Talos, Terrier and Tartar. While initial efforts were concentrated on developing the Talos ram-jet engine, a solid rocket propelled test vehicle to develop missile steering designs was recognized as capable of providing a simpler interim weapon for smaller ships, resulting in the Terrier two stage missile and the later single stage Tartar with solid fuel dual thrust rocket motor.
The Talos was first tested at White Sands in 1951 while Terrier and Tartar testing was relocated from China Lake CA in the early 1960s.

Zach Galifianakis on NPR (via spareunderthemat)
My (Strippr's) thoughts:
Nah. Men that go to strip clubs? They're from every walk of life. Old, young, single, married, unhappy, satisfied with life, disfigured, hotties, overweight, underweight, extremely wealthy, dirt poor, parenting, childless, traveling, locals, etc. You get the point. Whatever they go for, I never see it as pathetic or depressing. They're people. They deserve to be treated as such, and cared for, too. Taking care of one's sexual self is not "bad", "dirty", or "wrong", despite common sentiment on strippers.
There is something sexy about a strip club. Beautiful and confident women are sexy. Dancing and gymnastics and pole tricks and all of the things those very strong bodies can do, are sexy. Allowing yourself to get lost in your own fantasies for just a little while, is sexy. Being turned on is sexy. Learning about your own body for once, is sexy.
Being a sexual human being and admitting it, is sexy.

You could say that Gaëlle is a child of the translation industry. A native of Paris, her parents included a Peruvian father and a French mother, who also happened to be a freelance translator and interpreter.
"I've been entrenched in European, Latin American and U.S. cultures since the day I was born!" she reflects.
She has lived and worked on both sides of the Atlantic during different times in her life and attended international schools, all the while learning the business of languages from her mentor at her first translation agency. Although she has since specialized in global marketing and held key marketing and executive responsibilities in several software and technology industries, she came "home" to translation several years ago and is thrilled to now be marketing the services of Virtual Words on a global scale—and helping clients do the same.
With a cell phone in one hand and her laptop in another, Gaëlle's never short on flushing out new ideas for growing Virtual Words, brainstorming with clients and ensuring both groups stay efficient.
She's the true testament that you don't have to choose between being a translation company or a marketing company when targeting new audiences—with Virtual Words she's proven that you can have both successfully in a single company.

Making Sacrifice With Joy
I heard a story once about two wealthy Christians, a lawyer and a merchant, who traveled with a group that was going around the world. As they were visiting in Korea, they saw by the side of the road, a field in which a boy was pulling a crude plow and an old man held the plow handles and guided it. The lawyer was amused and took a snapshot of the scene.

The Tories have been accused of "sleaze politics" after it emerged they lobbied nightclub owners to attack Labour's Chuka Umunna. The Shadow Business Secretary had faced criticism over negative comments made about London's nightclubs.
23/04/2012 in British Business
Labour has called for fuller disclosure on how fund managers vote on executive pay, as public anger over directors' high salaries mounts ahead of the annual general meetings of the UK's top companies. The party is proposing an amendment to bring into force powers contained in the 2006 Companies Act. "Making fund managers disclose how they vote on issues will mean the pensioner or the ordinary investor will be in a better position to access information on how votes are cast in their name on matters such as executive pay," Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna said in a statement.
07/01/2012 in British Business
David Cameron will tomorrow announce plans to let company shareholders block excessive executive pay.
Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, the Prime Minister says: "Let's empower the shareholders by having a straight, shareholder voter on top paid packages."
The proposal marks the latest in a series of measures targeting the highest paid. Mr Cameron had hinted at the move on Friday, telling BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the bonus culture was "completely out of whack".
Mr Cameron and Nick Clegg both said the Government was looking at a new general rule to stop wealthy individuals and large companies from avoiding tax.
Labour's Chuka Umunna earlier joined calls for "more responsible, better capitalism", including curbs on high remuneration.
The Shadow Business Secretary told the Today programme that the high levels of pay were "symptomatic of the kind of capitalism that has grown up in the country over the last 30 years", but added that he was not opposed to people being rewarded for "taking risks and creating jobs".

Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna has apologised for labelling London clubbers as "trash".
The remarks, which were made on an exclusive social networking site in 2006 have been criticised by MPs.
A spokesman for Mr Umunna admitted the comments were "not appropriate" but noted they were made "long before he became an MP".
06/02/2012 in Financial Services
David Cameron has been urged by Labour to stick to his tough stance on bankers' bonuses. The Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna told the Financial Times the Prime Minister should not give in to demands to change course from Tory backers. Mr Umunna argued it was "unbelievably absurd" to label those who wanted to reform finance as anti-business.
14/11/2011 in British Business
Business rules are "rigged" in a way that discourages firms from making long-term investments in key economic areas, Chuka Umunna has said today. At a speech in London today, the Shadow Business Secretary also highlighted new figures showing a 15% reduction in science funding. Mr Umunna said: "The Government is out of touch with British business and is making the wrong choices for the economy in the short term as well as the wrong choices in the long term for Britain's future".

All hail Lucy Lawless!
AE: Lucretia has lost everything. Is she going to be insane with vengeance this series?
LL: Yes, but it's not going to be what you think. It's not a simple vengeance. It's a dish best served very very cold.
AE: How is she feeling about Crixius at this point? Because it seemed like there were genuine feelings that had developed between the two of them, but now Crixius has gone off and joined…
LL: Well, I don't think feelings developed between them. I think she got confused. She confused sex and love. He never confused it. He knows what love is. He had it with Naevia and he'll continue to chase that love through this series. By watching a documentary about women in England who see male prostitutes, [I learned they] inevitably would fall in love with the male prostitute who would then have to break it off with them. The prostitute will service their egos and whatnot – and the women start to confuse sex with love. I used that in Lucretia's relations with Crixius. She might have thought she loved Crixus – but she only ever really loved her husband, truly. It was just a bit of confusion there. And Crixius sorted her out.
AE: It feels like in a way Hollywood hasn't discovered you. It seems like you should have your own show again at some point. Is that something you're interested in?
LL: Uhm, I don't know what that would be. I can tell you that it seems to be fated that I do…. I don't know, I've had fantastic roles, so I'm not complaining. Look at the incredible roles I've had in my life. And I work with my husband. My beloved. The father of my children. And in a country that I love and that my kids enjoy growing up in.
AE: So this is the career Lucy Lawless was meant to have.
LL: I'm so very happy and so grateful. I think Lucretia is one of the best roles on television for a woman ever.
AE: Talk about playing Xena versus Lucretia.
LL: It's a very different kind of acting, actually. Xena was a little bit comic book-y. Whereas this is more graphic novel. And you have to play it very straight. Otherwise it becomes farce. There's no eyebrows being raised. There's no Wha-Wha! [duck call]
Yeah, you just have to play this real straight. So it requires that I don't act. That I just be it. So it's a great adventure for me to have this alternate life playing Lucretia. I feel like I'm her when I'm doing it.
AE: Xena might have been comic book-y but ultimate it had great heart and truth to it. My partner and I still watch that final scene where you're in the boat with Gabrielle and you disappear
LL: Laughs.
AE: I don't mean to be corny, but every time I see it, I cry. It was great. Earlier, Steven [DeKnight] and I talked about how genre television doesn't seem to get the respect that it deserves.
LL: I know, but can I complain? I really do these things for my own pleasure… and because I make a living at it. But uh, if you're looking for more than getting paid and great job satisfaction then I think you're off track a little? For me? I'd be off track. It'd be nice to get some love from your peers. But you know, if you can't be with the ones you love, love the ones you're with. I'm perfectly happy.

Police: Girl dies in skid loader accident
Name of 2-year-old victim being withheld
A 2-year-old girl died Wednesday night from injuries suffered from a skid loader on a farm in Woodstock.
Maj. Scott Proctor of the Shenandoah County Sheriff's Office said deputies and members of the fire and rescue department were dispatched to a farm in the 400 block of Riffey Lane around 5:30 p.m. The child was taken to Shenandoah Memorial Hospital where she was later pronounced dead, he said.
Proctor said he didn't know the circumstances of the incident, but "it appears at this point to be an accidental death."
"It was a tragic accident for all involved," Proctor said.
The name of the victim is being withheld.

My High S&I Boss doesn't want me to do O3's or weekly meetings
Hi all thanks for your help.
I have looked at similar threads on this before about a reticent Boss.
Those threads were a few years old and am hoping for additional ideas.
My Boss is a High S and High I. I am much more of a High C and High I.
She recently challenged me to be a better manager so I came to Manger Tools.
Her biggest complaint is that I don't know my Directs very well and that I don't know what they are doing regularly.
I've listened to many Pod-casts and floated the idea to her that I'd like to start
Weekly Team meetings and weekly O3's.
She said she thinks our staff is mostly less formal and would not like O3's.
She is resistant to my conducting "more meetings" since meetings around here don't always go so well.
We have a small office and I only have 5 directs.
When I explained the purpose of O3's she asked why I don't build my relationship with my directs by walking around and talking with them instead.
I do go around for morning greetings and engage in the basic small talk. I smile and chit-chat in the break room - but I still feel that I don't my directs as well as MT suggests I should.
My Boss is against more meetings and thinks the O3 format is too formal and awkward. She is against formality and strict method approaches.
She is accusing me of not adapting my High C behavior to fit my direct's needs.
And that the O3 is just a formal way of doing what she does - walking around talking with folks. And that is what I should do more of instead.
Which is something I try and am not very good at apparently especially since she has asked me to be a better manager because I don't know what my Directs are up to.
Thanks for any input.
couple of points...
Is she just echoing feedback she's received from one or more of your directs? How does she know what their needs are?
How does she manage you? Does she know you and what you are doing?
How long have you been in this work-relationship?
In my opinion, you can try MBWA, but it doesn't work as effectively as the O3. Is she asking you to be a "better" manager, or a "more in my style" manager?
What does an S want?
Difficult situation but I would really focus on what a high S is looking for. The one-on-one as described in steps by MT might sound very C-ish for a S. If you "wrap" it in S-speak it might work better. For instance you could make it your objective to have an informal 15min conversation with every direct during the week with a focus on the direct. You would keep track of those. Basically 1-on-1s.
Additionally I would consider carefully how to report progress back to your boss. Pulling out your notes file might seem to C-ish but showing you know casually knowledge of your directs might be perfect.
Proceeding carefully
Hyub & Peter ,
Thanks for your questions and comments.
I've decided to take the slower approach similar to what Peter is suggesting.
My Boss asked if I could piggy-back onto her regular Weekly meetings as my staff members can be required to attend.
I asked if that offer was still open, as long as she doesn't mind me going over my team specific issues in the general meeting. She agreed.
I suppose if the weekly team meeting goal can be met that way then fine.... if it becomes obvious that we should have our own meetings she will suggest it.
For O3's I told her that I was holding off of the formal approach for now, and am going to make sure that do a weekly "unscheduled" employee focused chat each week. I suggested that when my directs start noticing, then I will suggest that we make it a regularly scheduled thing. So that the O3s develops more organically. My Boss seemed to like that idea.
- Answers to questions
* My Boss does things by what I call "Management by Chocolate"
I Mis-labeld her - after further consideration, I think she is a High S High D
She has a big Chocolate bowl on her desk and she encourages folks to drop by and keep her in the loop with personal and work related activities. If you don't drop by reguarlly and chit-chat then you get marked as not a team player and she is not quite sure how to manage you. {That's when her D comes out}
We worked together as peers for several years and then both applied for the Executive Director Position seven (7) years ago.
She got it. And promptly promoted me and gave me directs to supervise.
Often she treats me as an Assistant Director and she confides a great deal of business with me.
I can honestly say she is doing the Boss job better than I could and she is the best Boss I have ever had.
I get a lot of respect and leeway from her. And she has told me for several years she wants to groom me for when she retires next year or so.
* Yes, this is mostly generated for one direct in particular, who my Boss is re-aligning out from under me - to become her direct.
After the first year of training her, I pretty much let this direct fly free without much supervision. She works a great deal directly with Boss and on a variety of projects. She becomes a bit perturbed when I drop in and ask her what's going on. Apparently she doesn't like me to play my role power like that. Neither does my Boss.
I've been in a tough spot.... since I am discouraged from regular formal meetings with my directs and I don't seem to do the casual chit-chat well - I'm really not sure how I'm supposed to manage and supervise my folks. Most of my directs adapt pretty well... but this one is a High I&S and she is a Jr. Professional so she is something of a Peer that I also supervise. This direct is now being re-aligned; so that's that.
* Has this happened before ? Yes, my computer tech guy (a direct) got hammered because a virus got into a system. The crap passed right by me and slammed right on him. I even tried to step in the way - and a senior exec in the org wouldn't hear of it. For political reasons they used that as a chance to reorganize my Computer Tech into a completely different Dept.
And once I had a direct transfer positions and immediately ask to be managed directly by my Boss because she thought I was prejudice against her as a minority. Strangely because I shared an office with this direct for over a year and I thought we got to know each other pretty well, she was a very good performer and I always told her so. My Boss said she didn't believe I was prejudice or behaved in a discriminating way, but she didn't want to force that direct to be uncomfortably supervised.
Oh well - for as wonderful as she is my Boss isn't perfect.
Luckily, she is not inflexible and among all of the other employees around here I have a great deal of influence in the Org and with the Boss.
High S/D is *very* rare
I haven't gone through the rest of your post in enough detail to respond, but I just wanted to note that S and D are at complete opposites, and getting someone who is both is uncommon. Without knowing more about how you came to the conclusion you have, I would suspect that you're probably misinterpreting something in her behaviour.
Stress and Style switching
Yes mattpalmer, I can see your confusion.
I have been trained in the Birkman model and am a little new to DiSC.
I am approaching this with a blend. Birkman, to simplfy, says that people have a usual work behavior and a stressed work behavior.
Generally, my Boss shows High S behavior. That's when things are going OK or very well.
The better things are, the bigger her S gets.
Heck, yesterday she bought the entire staff lunch and had it delivered.
When things aren't going well, or if she is dealing with an employee that does not respond well to her High S behavior - she behavies more like a High D.
My job, is to do my best to keep the Boss out of stress. I like the Chocolate Lady, even if she frustrates me with her lack of C.
BTW I am a High C with High I when Things are going very well. When under stress... I act a big C only.
