In these stressful times, maybe being a slacker isn't such a bad thing after all. Listening to the FranklinCovey preachers is enough to throw anyone over the edge so here's the new religion. The seven habits of highly effective slackers. What would the world do without them?
There is a common misperception in the workplace that effective and productive people fit into the go-getter, proactive, or highly organized mold. While it may be true that these people are often rewarded for their seemingly productive ways, their productivity levels are actually well below those of the effective slacker.
Go-getters are always busy but they only focus on tasks that get noticed by executives. These tasks are usually highly visible but rarely important to the success of the company.
Proactive types are also always busy but their proactiveness leads to an eventual interference of completing higher priority work.
