The Cranky Middle Manager Show #013 Slacker Managers
The Cranky Middle Manager Show #013 (MP3 9.82MB 29.30Min)
The Slacker Manager Turns 1 Year Old…the Blog, Not the Actual Guy…..
… But we have Bren Connelly from the Slacker Manager. If you haven’t read his Slacker Manager Manifesto, click here and do yourself a favor. Even if you’re mildly outraged, there’s at least one voice in your head (among the many…don’t deny it) shouting, “Preach On, Brother”.
Show Notes
0:00 Welcome to the show. Especially those of us who are charter members of the Siyphus Appreciation Society. Middle managers have a lot in common with that man.
2:52 The quote of the week. This guy was obviously Senior Management material, but he has a point….
3:30 Welcome Bren Connelly, of Slacker Manager.com.
6:50 So what’s wrong with a personal day or two? And why can’t you just call in “Fed Up”? How to call in sick.
10:49 What’s it like going back to work after a break? What has “The Slacker Manager” taught him?
15:30 4 words to live by: “NO NEW MISSION STATEMENTS”
19:00 What’s a “Wiki” and what does it have to do with managing virtual employees?
23:40 So which blogs does a blogger read?
Genuine Curiosity
Random Thoughts from a CTO
Management Craft, from our good friend Lisa Haneberg
