There are a number of factors that contribute to Technogeekaphobia™. Some of these are:
• Inadequate cross-disciplinary training in business and technical schools.
• Failure to appreciate the influence of fundamental personality characteristics on productivity.
• Failure to utilize tools and methods appropriate to those differences.
Although some business schools have made incremental changes over the past few decades, most business schools are still using a core curriculum that was established in the 1950's - 25 years before the advent of the information age.
carl Jung's theory asserts that our fundamental personality preferences are innate. These innate or inborn preferences go through a process of devlopment throughout our lifetime.
It’s clear that environment also plays a role in how those preferences are developed or applied to out external lives.
These preferences do not dictate behavior, nor do they imply any particular level of competency. However they do indicate the most natural way for a person to process their world. They influence how an individual takes direction, how they make decisions, set priorities, organize their work and many other aspects of their working life.
In simple terms, Technogeekaphobia™ stems from a failure to understand, communicate and motivate.
