On (All)Top of the World

Chris Bailey recently pointed out that Slacker Manager is part of the Alltop.com Career Network, along with The M.A.P. Maker, Escape from Cubicle Nation, Evil HR Lady, Managing with Aloha Coaching and the Chief Happiness Officer, to name a few.
I’d encourage you to bookmark the Alltop.com Career Network, and see if you find anything useful […]

Management Word Power: Queasy or Easy?

Do you speak management?
Perhaps you have been at a meeting where someone says, “growth share matrix is in decline because we are at the low end of the innovation adoption curve and we need to enhance instrinsic stakeholder commitment.” This is the kind of statement that makes you look up from the solitaire game on […]

TwitterLit is genius

Aside from the questionable practice of hooking into another product’s name to promote your own business, TwitterLit (and here) is one of the coolest Twitter uses I’ve seen. Twice a day, this person posts the first line of a book to Twitter, with an affiliate link to the book on Amazon. The site describes it […]

Books and more books

I just wrote a book review on The Omnivore’s Dilemma over at Joyful Jubilant Learning. There are a TON of good reviews to read over there. This Shelfari page shows all the books that are getting reviewed, and this page is where you can keep track of the reviews.
There are a lot of business […]

GTD Masters

Just a quick pointer to The Cranking Widgets Blog where Brett has a really cool series of posts (two up so far) called GTD Masters where he interviews some well known GTD bloggers. Great idea and great reading!

LinkedIn Answers (everything?)

I’ve spent the better part of the last couple of hours browsing LinkedIn Answers and asking myself, “How could I have overlooked this?!” It is simply awesome. The deal is that you submit a question to your network, wait for the answers to roll in, then “close” the thread by awarding a respondent a green […]

The guiding principles of the Slacker@Work

I’ve been thinking lately about what overarching ideas guide folks like us (you know, smart people who want to do good work, but only when it’s good work we want to do). I’ve examined my own ways and I think I’ve isolated 15 16 (how convenient!) principles that I tend to follow. I’ll list them […]

Quought for the day

UPDATE: Here’s mine!
Though I’ve been remiss about pointing it out, hopefully you haven’t missed it. In case you have, here’s your chance to catch up with the rest of us. Rajesh Setty, an entrepreneurial powerhouse who blogs at Life Beyond Code, has taken the bull by the horns and has asked a TON of people […]

50 great ones

It’s always hard to narrow down great business-oriented blogs to a finite list, so I rarely try to do it. Especially lately, since I’ve been focusing on reading books made of paper more than blogs made of screens. Regardless, Lisa Haneberg has listed 50 business-oriented blogs that she and three others find very useful for […]

Suggestica goes live

Just a quick pointer that Rajesh Setty’s latest project, Suggestica, goes live today. There’s also a companion blog here.
The official elevator pitch:
Suggestica aims to bring the best suggestions (books, audio, video etc.) from the “Trusted Authorities” in their disciplines. Our goal is to create a new kind of web with less clutter and less noise. […]

Good business reading (And listening. And watching)

I’ve got way too many blogs in the old feedreader. I went through the other day and kinda cleaned house (thank you NetNewsWire for the “dinosaurs” feature that makes this tedious task simple and fast) and while I was at it, I was reminded once again of a few content producers (note that I’m not […]

Latest on ChangeThis

ChangeThis.com has just relased their latest round of essays, and there are some good ones in there! David Maister writes about fighting strategic flab, Pip Coburn writes about the adoption (or not) of technology, and that crazy Clotaire Rapaille writes about cracking the human codes. There are others, whose names I didn’t recognize, and I’m […]

Goals and burning your mind

Just a couple of quick links to some new apps that have been pointed out to me recently.
First is Joe’s Goals, which is a super simple web-based goal tracker that has all the ajaxy stuff you’ve come to expect. There’s not really any social aspect (read: external guilt) which we’ve also come to expect […]

Warriors and Weasels

Interesting new blog that’s promoting a new book: Warriors & Weasels Blog is the blog marketing effort for a new book called Warriors, Workers, Whiners and Weasels, by Tim O’Leary (looks like he’s a local Portland guy).
I haven’t read the book, just browsed the blog. The blog is good reading so far, and the book […]

Management by Baseball

I’ve been reading this neat little book called Management by Baseball by Jeff Angus. Jeff is a consultant and sportswriter up in Seattle and he’s written a pretty cool book. I’ll get a more formal review up when I finish, but so far the book has proved to be a nice primer for general management. […]
