I've learned to love when that happens.  For one thing, it 
provides some validation for the way I'm thinking.

As part of learning about resistance, I developed a model of 
motivation.  A year or two later, I was dismayed, then delighted, 
to find the same model described (in different words) in Edward 
Lawler's "Jossey-Bass classic" book /Motivation in Work 
Organizations/.

My parenthetical "in different words" is significant, I think. 
I'm glad I developed my model before reading Lawler's.  I can 
speak more clearly about the model because of the work I put into 
developing it.

I'd love to hear ideas about how to do that.
