I think the “Featured Post Manager” plugin will be closer to what you’re looking for:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/featured-post-manager/screenshots/
The language used is somewhat confusing, and it may not work for custom taxonomies (directories) or custom types (people), BUT you can probably take the code and customize it to work for those classes of things instead, as well as updating the language used on the page.
It’s mostly a single PHP file, so you’d just have to look at the code ( http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/featured-post-manager/trunk/fpmngr.php ) and change a couple things from “category” to “directory” (line 81), and “post” to “person/people” (line 108), etc.
