Read at Work = Brilliant/Evil
A friend of ours sent us this link to Read at Work and when we saw it, we nearly fell out of our chairs. For those of you who prefer not to click the link, RAW is a website that perfectly mimics the Windows desktop, except that the folders open up to short stories that are [...]
Sludge and the Daily Episcopalian
We were pleased to see this post at Episcopal Cafe for two reasons. First, we love hearing other people’s Sludge examples. Lying about being in a meeting because you want to finish your chicken avocado salad is a new one for us, even if the reason behind the lie makes sense. This anecdote is an [...]
ROWE Slide Show!
We are trying to cut down on our use of exclamation points, but we couldn’t help it on this one. Forbes.com just posted a rock-solid Q & A with us, and then they had to go crazy and publish a slide show that demonstrates 13 Guideposts of ROWE. Go Forbes.com! We love the images they [...]

The Recurring Question
We were talking with a friend the other day and he wanted to know how the book tour was going. You know, personally. We said that we are energized by the response, and excited that people seem to be engaging with the book, even if they have questions about the contents. Then he wanted to [...]
USA Today
Results should matter, not just working late Ressler and Thompson — founders of CultureRx, a consultancy that promotes better ways to work — have a long list of reasons for disliking the standard work culture.

ROWE Discussion over at Manager Tools
This post is for you managers out there. Without a doubt, a Results-Only Work Environment really puts managers and leaders to the test.
