Free Book Friday: Who Are You!
On this fantastic Friday, I’m giving away books from my leadership library to a few lucky random readers that answer this question in the comments:
Who are you and what’s 1 question we can answer or 1 thing you want to see here at Slacker Manager?
You also could do us a favor and complete our survey, and then leave a comment below too.
Rules: If you’re in the US, you can win a traditional book from my library. You’ll need to give me your physical address. If you’re not in the US, I’ll give you a free ebook. I’ll choose the winners at random on Sunday, and we’ll answer what we can soon after. Winner will be announced Tuesday morning.

Here’s a question: how does a lead techie influence a dysfunctional management structure to change it to be more effective?
IOW: How do I make the horse drink once I’ve led it to water?

Who am I: A project manager with a knack for process re-engineering, cross country motorcycle trips, and collecting tattoos.
Scenario leading to the question:
- dealing with government
- an environment of high-turnover (~75% over two years, by mandate)
- turn over results in the few veteran’s having a great deal of influential authority
- process is loosely defined and detrimental to overall goals
- management has high hopes for introducing a silver bullet (new process) but an unclear idea of what that should be
Question:
- What suggestions, tips and tricks can you share in regards to gaining enthusiasm from the veteran’s, specifically towards the idea that the silver bullet is not defined, but rather an organic, continuous pursuit of improvement?
cheers!

I am tim…a student leadership consultant who enjoys the slacker lifestyle to the fullest.
I am interested in the tips that will better organize my life, shorten my work week, and help me avoid situations of conflict (both internal and external) all together.
