Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Where were we?

oh yeah… the workplace battlefield!

Disclaimer: the following is for the entertainment of Readers and Students of the Wakefield Doctrine. And, in the way of this forum, a fun way to learn about how to use the Wakefield Doctrine as an additional perspective on the world around us. Even more of value, this approach lends itself to one’s efforts to improve our level of fluency in everyone’s favorite personality type system. Let Kenneth say it for us this band of bloggers:

The Wakefield Doctrine exhibits itself in the workplace, as in all other situations that involve the interaction of people.

No, wait! Lets, not be so cautious! If one has the acquired the knowledge of this thing of ours and possesses the courage to take it into one of the most common, persistent (and pernicious) of life circumstances, the rewards are very much awaiting.

We will forgo the remindage of ‘the Everything Rule’* as this exercise is kinda on the advanced side.

Running short on time. (Sorry, Misky. For us here, it’s not merely a division of the time available in the day, it is the mindset difference between (for us) creativity and practicality, aka the ‘real’ world vs everything else.)

Allow us to impose a certain order to help with our discussion going forward.

Some no frills, down ‘n dirty Doctrine insights into the workplace:

• your manager is a roger. Do not ask them a question ‘in public’, i.e. in the presence of other workers/employees.
• Laugh at the antics of the scott but do not, under any circumstances: maintain excessive eye contact and laugh with others do not abstain.
• Careful with being friendly with the clark. (If you don’t know what that means, that’s why god invented Comments). Hint: that blue tends to rub off if you know what we mean

…will return tomorrow.

* New Readers? ‘the Everything Rule’ states: Everyone does everything, at one time or another. Not merely suggesting that no one, (of the three personality types), have exclusive domain over a category of behavior, insight, knowledge, strength or weakness relative to the other two. We’re saying that this is common sense and nothing silly. (lol) While the scott is inherently well-suited to the profession of police officer, clarks and rogers can also be found in the ranks of law enforcement. They will, however, manifest the performance of their duties in a manner that not only is immediately obvious (if’n you’re doing your reading) but will reflect the relationship the individual (clark, scott or roger) maintains with the world around them and the people who make it up.

And, of course, this applies to medicine, the legal profession, engineering, the clergy, teaching and street-walking, to name but a few.
