Winners: Saving the World at Work

Sorry for the delay in announcing the winners of my Saving the World at Work contest. I’ve been busy, er, saving the world at work, or at least trying to :) Hope you have been entertained while you wait.

So I received 3 wonderful entries, so I’m going to ask Tim Sanders to send a copy to my first 2 people, and I will send a copy to winner #3.

Anne shared:

I’m trying to convince my staff and co-workers of the importance of work/life balance, especially in regards to taking their vacation time regularly and using sick days appropriately. As a wise boss of mine once said, “they’re not benefits if you don’t use them.”

Mistra Moazami offered:

I am entering to win the book. I am surrounded by negative and low morale people. They all walk around and complain about management and all the things that are wrong but not a single one of them will lift a finger to help themselves, help each other, or help our customers. Sometimes I feel drained of energy trying to keep positive and motivate others.

Bryan Ray said:

Keeping a good attitude.

There are often times in every company when rumors of layoffs are going around, or deadlines are not going to be met, or a long time team member has decided to part ways.

I’ve often found that keeping a good attitude around the office regardless of the circumstances helps keep morale a little bit higher.

Thank you Anne, Mistra and Bryan. I hope you enjoy the book, and that your efforts help Save The World at Work!

Thanks also to Tim Sanders, for sharing his book with the readers of Slacker Manager! If you’d like to support Tim, I know he’d appreciate it if you picked up a copy of Save The World at Work.
