Management Porn: Just Say No!

July 17, 2009 by Phil Gerbyshak

Do you practice management porn? Take this quick quiz to find out:

  1. Do you hold meetings just to say you had a meeting?
  2. Do you send out e-mails with no point?
  3. Do you make your team work “mandatory overtime” even if there’s no real work to be done?
  4. Do you volun-tell your team to do teambuilding activities?
  5. Do you send out requests for feedback and then ignore everything that’s said and go with your own favorite choice?
  6. Do you play favorites?

If so, you’re practicing management porn: management for management’s sake.

My advice to you: Just say no!

Stop it right now.

Stop practicing management porn.

You’ll get more done.

Your direct reports will stop hating you.

Your boss will silently thank you.

Thanks. This has been a public service announcement from Slacker Manager.
