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. […]
Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve pointed out a Carnival of the Capitalists but here’s the latest, over at Decker Marketing. It’s huge. Honestly, I get the email update each week, but I haven’t actually read through one in a while. They’re getting pretty big, and yet the content still seems to be […]
Just a quick heads-up about a new feature here at Slacker Manager. We’ve got some free magazine offers available these days, on just about any imaginable business topic. Have a look here. You can always get there by clicking through to the Library (link on the right sidebar there).
Someday I’ll finish building the library, which […]
Roger sent me an invite today to Newsvine, which is pretty cool. It’s kind of a mashup between Rojo and Digg. I admit I haven’t played around with it a whole lot, so I may be missing the boat in that brief description.
The real reason for this post, though, was that from Newsvine’s business center, […]
Playing a little catch-up this evening and noticed this. The Business 2.0 web content is all free from now on, since they’ve been acquired by CNN Money. Very nice! Business 2.0 is a great mag, and I’m glad to be able to get to their content on the web now as well.

Great article on MSNBC about two types of slackers: the physical slacker and the optical slacker. In short, the physical slacker is someone who can’t or won’t get their stuff done on time. You rely on them for products or outcomes and they don’t deliver or they don’t deliver on time. The optical slacker is […]
The latest edition of the Harvard Business Review is dedicated to decision making, and it’s definitely an issue worth buying. It’s got articles from some of my favorite business writers, including Ram Charan and Tom Davenport.
The article I like best so far is a reprint of an earlier article by John Hammond, Howard Raiffa […]
Slacker Manager was featured in the Business section of today’s Oregonian newspaper (also listed with a few other blogs in today’s business blog entry from Brent Hunsberger).
If you’ve come here by way of either the blog or the hardcopy newspaper, welcome! Feel free to poke around. There are some interesting links on the sidebar, over […]
I was messing around with my bloglines account and I accidentally deleted all the blogs that populate the "I Read" section of the main page sidebar. I had a backup in NetNewsWire, so they’re back, but I didn’t really keep those two (bloglines and nnw) synchronized. So if your blog was previously in the list, […]
Kinda late, but still fresh: The latest Carnival of the Capitalists is up over at The Entrepreneurial Mind. It’s a great edition on two counts: it’s the first of three COTC editions that will contain memorials to Peter Drucker and it’s structured like a university catalog–very cool.
You’ll recall that Drucker died last Friday at […]
Just finished reading Blink by Malcom Gladwell. I’ll spare you a full on review since I think I’m probably the last person to read it. The bottom line for me was that I enjoyed the read–Gladwell is a great storyteller. But Blink just isn’t on par with The Tipping Point. TTP gave us a new […]
Nothing original here, just a few pointers…
Carnival of the Capitalists is up over at Weekend Pundit. I’ve been forgetting about the COTC lately, but I’ve got an entry in this week. Always good reading on the COTC. Next week it’s over at Strange Brand.
Matthew Homann, of the [non]billable hour, is offering some interesting coaching sessions. […]
Real nice column from the SF Gate about doing what you love, despite the upheaval. Good reading, and right up the alley of anyone for whom the Slacker@Work manifesto rings a bell. (Thanks, Avi)

Just a quick pointer to a few worthwhile reads.
First, I’m about the last person to point this out, but ChangeThis has (finally) loaded a few new manifestos. Rosa Say’s ‘Managing With Aloha’ among them. I’ve read and reviewed Rosa’s book, on which this manifesto is based, and it’s good stuff. You should get the […]
I know I’m totally late to the party in recognizing that ChangeThis has new owners, but it’s still worth mentioning. Also worth mentioning is the crazy, crazy vote count that Josh Kaufman has racked up (1,174 as I write this) for his Personal MBA manifesto proposal! Go vote if you’re compelled, but I’ve got a […]
Paving the path of least resistance, so you don't trip and fall.
