Lisa Haneberg: September Inductee Into the Order of the Golden Slacker

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.

If you are not already following the contributor we induct, what are you waiting for?

David Zinger and Phil Gerbyshak (The Slacker Managers) are proud to honor our first inductee and the September inductee into the Order of The Golder Slacker.

Ms. Lisa Haneberg

The Order of the Golden Slacker is awarded by Slacker Manager to Lisa Haneberg for the consistent and strong voice you offer to managers to make things easier for us. We appreciate the varied and insightful ideas and perspectives you offer Slacker Managers. You are able to break down complex management topics into golden nuggets we can digest and you stubbornly offer us your best again and again. You have offered a pathway to management breakthroughs.

We get a real kick out of your work Lisa!

 David Zinger & Phil Gerbyshak

We presented Lisa with a certificate to acknowledge both her contribution and our thanks in developing Slacker Managers around the world.

Lisa exemplifies the following characteristics of Slacker Managers: 

• infuse work with passion and purpose
• focus on smarter not harder work
• ensure that work is effective and efficient
• leverage learning for results
• commit to both personal and professional development
• draw out the strengths of others and themselves
• transform “me thinking” to “we thinking”  
• weave results and relationships into good management
• delegate for results and development
• engage in lifelong learning in diverse and multiple ways
• value giving and serving ahead of taking and being served
• willingly admit when they don’t know something
• use all available resources
• laugh as leaders – taking work seriously and themselves lightly

Lisa’s accomplishments in both books and blogs is outstanding. She is a skillful management writer who focuses like a laser beam to describe and outline ideas that you can use. She also had incredible drive – evidenced by her 10,000 mile motorcycle book tour this summer. Lisa is informative, interesting, engaging, practical and helpful.

If you read Lisa and follow her directions I firmly believe you will gain incredible focus, become a better manager, and make breakthroughs happen for both yourself and the people you manage. 

A sample of  7 contributions from Lisa Haneberg include:

1. 10 Steps to be a Successful Manager (Book)
2. Two Weeks to a Breakthrough (Book)
3. Focus Like a Laser Beam (Book)
4.  www.lisahaneberg.com (Website)
5. The Management Craft blog (Blog)
6. 2 Weeks to a Breakthrough Blog (Blog)
7. Fireside Chats (Podcast Interviews)

Lisa has made a significant difference in my management knowledge and practice. I just reapplied her two weeks to a breakthrough methodology during the first two weeks of September. I experienced a tremendous boost in the connection, assistance, and action I received and achieved on two projects I launched.

From both Phil and David, thanks Lisa!
