Can you remember your first training model?
I don't mean that dishy graduate from the IT training team or that handsome hunk from the consultancy.
I mean a theory of how people behave and relate in organisations.
I can.
It was Theory X and Y and it was nearly 35 years ago.
At the time, as a junior manager in a national UK food company, my introduction to Douglas McGregor's theory of human motivation hit me like a thunderbolt from the blue.
I can still recall the flipchart where my trainer drew a vertical line down the paper and on one side, under "Theory X", wrote that "people are lazy, will only work for money, and do no more than they have to".
And then, on the other side, to my growing fascination, wrote under "Theory Y" that "people want to learn, want to grow, and want to become something."
Looking back, I guess that day changed everything I had assumed about people, changed how I wanted to manage them, and turned me into a devotee of personal development.
In short, it made me a fan of Theory Y.
Imagine then my shock and horror to discover that, far from having changed everyone else back in the 1970's into Theory Y advocates, Theory X is still alive and well and thriving in a bank near you.
I know this because of accounts of the management style of Sir Fred Goodwin, until last year chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland, one of the biggest banks in the world.
These accounts relate how every day during his tenure as chairman, Sir Fred would summon his top executives to his office at 9.30 prompt and grill them mercilessly about the shortcomings of any branch and its staff.
If any branch were under-performing, he would humiliate the poor executive responsible, using his favourite phrases, "I think you're asleep at the wheel" and "that's life in the big city, chum".
Sir Fred became known as Fred the Shred for his people-destroying management style. A Theory X manager incarnate.
I'm not glad that the Royal Bank of Scotland has crashed with huge debts and been bailed out by the taxpayer. Nor am I glad that in the year since its demise, thousands of hardworking bank staff have lost their jobs. And I'm certainly not glad that Sir Fred Goodwin jumped the ship in time by negotiating a massive pension for himself right at the moment in the mid-night hours when it looked as if the bank was about to run out of money for all its customers.
However, I am glad that, nearly 50 years after McGregor produced his theory, and 30-odd years after I discovered it, Theory Y has won the day.

In my last blog, I asked if the jury was still out on McGregor’s theory X and theory Y. In other words: Is there a consensus amongst practising managers about the most effective way to manage people? The picture is complicated by the fact that our underlying assumptions about human nature (in relation to work) affect what we think will be effective and how we interpret the evidence we see. But does any of this really matter or is it just an interesting philosophical diversion?

As we celebrate this Veterans Day to honor our country's heroes and pay respect to their service and sacrifice, it's difficult not to get caught up with the emotions and controversy surrounding the recent massacre at Fort Hood Army base in TX. What happened was indeed a tragedy and the families and loved ones of those killed or injured will have many challenging days ahead. My heartfelt condolences go out to all of them.

As some of you will know, I've spent the best part of this year re-decorating our house, following some major structural work two years ago.
We're now on the last lap and, although nearly every part of our re-design and re-decoration looks beautiful, I am sometimes irritated by a few niggling things that don't quite work.
These include the overlapping wallpaper edges in the living room, the border that's out by about 3 degrees in the study, and the carpet that doesn't quite match the wallpaper in one of the bedrooms.
Although these are miniscule matters compared with the overall effect, they still niggle me from time to time. And they would totally destroy the overall effect if it wasn't for my refusal to join the 99 Club.
If you don't know what the 99 Club is, then let me tell you.
There once was a king who, despite his wealth, was very unhappy.
One day, the king came across a servant who was happily singing at his work. The king demanded to know why he was singing.
"Sire," said the servant, "I know I am only a servant but I and my family have all we need to be happy. We have a roof over our heads, a nice home, and three healthy children. Why shouldn't I be happy?"
This reply troubled the rich but miserable king who called in his chief advisor to tell him what to do.
After hearing about the servant, the advisor told the king, "Sire, I think the solution is for your servant to join the 99 Club. Tonight, leave 99 gold coins in a bag at the servant's door and watch what happens."
The king did as he was told.
That night, when the servant came home, he saw the bag and took it into his house.
When he opened the bag and counted the 99 coins, he let out a great shout of joy.
But almost at once he wondered what had happened to the last gold coin, for surely nobody would leave just 99 coins instead of 100.
From that moment on, the servant's life changed. Feeling compelled to complete his fortune, he overworked, became grumpy at his loss, and felt incomplete. He soon stopped singing at his work.
The next time the king and his advisor saw the servant, the advisor smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your servant has now joined the 99 Club."
I love this story because it reflects how many of us feel, and are made to feel, about the things in our lives that are not perfect and, instead of rejoicing in the 99% that are complete and wonderful, focus on the 1% that is not.
Now, every time I see my overlapping wallpaper, my dodgy border, and my mis-matched carpet, I remember the 99 Club, smile to myself, and breathe a deep sense of contentment.
