Phil and I are determined to honor people who have made outstanding contributions to management development. Instead of a quick link and a list in a blog-roll we have created: The Order of […]

Phil and I are determined to honor people who have made outstanding contributions to management.
Instead of a quick link and a list in a blogroll we have created: The Order of the Golden Slacker. We will send the inductee a certificate to acknowledge them and we will write a longer post here to honor them.

Slacker Managers are readers. Of course, you are reading this right now, so it proves my point!
BNET has done a provocative piece on the 10 most overrated and 10 most underrated business books. Read the 2 lists below to see where they might have put a book you love or loathe.
Here are their 10 OVERRATED books:
Reengineering the […]
Thanks, everyone, for all the fantastic posts over the last week. There’s certainly nothing to complain about–you all did admirable work for the tryouts.
Doug Hanna and I will review all the data and be in touch with everyone soon. There’s still some leftover sale business to clean up first, so I expect that we’ll be […]
Like the post title says, I’ve sold Slacker Manager and the blog needs a new author. Which story do you want to hear first, the one about selling the blog, or the one about the search for a new author? Let’s start at the beginning…
It’s been a good few years and Slacker Manager has served […]
This is a question for any fountain pen aficionados out there: how do you jumpstart your ink flow after letting your pen rest overnight (or a couple of days)?
This has always bothered me, and I’ve tried a variety of solutions. The “lick it” trick (over and over until the ink flows freely); the dip in […]
The importance of grammar in email correspondence with clients and potential clients.
My interactions with physical pens usually consist of a few seconds of scrawling my signature on some letter. I rarely write much text longhand these days. Except this time of year, and other special occasions, when I write personalized notes to folks. My ink-stained fingers are evidence of the labor of the last four hours. […]
Thanks to Brendon for the chance to publish something today on Slacker Manager. My name is TDavid and you can find me posting regularly at Things That … Make You Go Hmm where the post below has been sitting in the draft bin patiently waiting for the right time and place to make an appearance.
As […]
I’m making slow but steady progress on the ‘Slacker@Work’ book. Matt Wagner has been invaluable in helping me clarify my thinking in a bunch of ways. One thing that’s come up is the idea of categories of managers. I’m aware of two: micromanagers and undermanagers. Micromanagers are well known–they want to do your work for […]
Well, I’ve been more than a little lax about posting any original stuff here lately. That blog depression thing that’s been going around rings kinda true for me these days. As the first anniversary of Slacker Manager is coming up in October, I’ve toyed with the idea of shutting down the blog, or selling it, […]
So, it looks like I may have the chance to squeeze out a book. I won’t bore you with all the details…okay, I will. You know I wrote that little manifesto over at ChangeThis and it turned out to be moderately popular. I figured I’d noodle around with a book proposal based upon the same […]
UPDATE: I think I’m starting to get my answers here (pdf). Thanks to everyone who replied, and especially to Jim for the pointers to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
I’m putting the finishing touches on the Slacker@Work book proposal and I’m looking for some demographic information. Can’t seem to find quite what I’m looking for, so […]
Just a couple of notes here. First, thanks to everyone for your votes on the beatitudes manifesto proposal. Looks like it’s doing pretty well, and I appreciate your help. Feel free to continue to pass along the link to others who might dig the final result.
Second, it looks like the Business Blogging Awards are finally […]
Paving the path of least resistance, so you don't trip and fall.
