Slacker Manager

Management Roundup for Week Ending February 9th, 2008

by Phil Gerbyshak on February 8th, 2008

Here are a few management articles I found interesting this week.

• The Enlightened Manager shares When is team building not team building - “If you really want to build a team - be very intentional about it. Don’t just assume that if you bring donuts that everyone will work effectively together. You’re more likely to contribute to giving employees diabetes than giving them job skills.”

• Ryan at Employee Evolution reminds us that if you’re interviewing for a job, there are some questions you can ask to make sure your boss doesn’t suck -  “In an interview, the questions you ask are just as important as the questions your potential boss asks you. They can determine what the relationship will be like and they can determine whether or not working for this person is really right for you.”

• Simple Rich shares “It’s not Brain Surgery,” where he reminds all of us managers to relax.

And relax is what I will do now. I’m off for the weekend, and I’ll be back on Monday. Enjoy the slack that is the weekend!

Please share your favorite management links of the week in the comments below.
