There’s a stereotype about creative people - that they thrive on flexibility, rebel against rigid rules, and are subjected to the forces of inspiration (or lack thereof). If this stereotype is true, then it’s amazing that creative people get anything done at all, let alone get anything done on time!
Obviously, the stereotype is a myth. […]
Do you think that all it takes to get promotions, raises, and job offers is confined within the four walls of your office cube? The title says it all. Writing a book is a great, albeit uncommon, way to get your name and reputation out there.

The b5 media Business Channel’s Apprentice Challenge has been the main preoccupation of most of the biz channel’s bloggers for the past month or so.

There’s a task - a presentation, a report, it doesn’t matter - and no one wants to do it because it looks tough. You were stuck with the job. Surprisingly, because of your unique badass skills, you managed to finish the job in an hour without breaking a sweat. Do you:

My buddy (and boss–though he’s been my friend longer than employer) Darren Rowse–an uber blogger is there ever was one–has been working on a series of posts on creativity.

Sometimes, it is not the individual tip or trick that needs to be done to Pimp Your Work. Sometimes, your company needs to step up and figure it out so that everyone benefits from a productivity increase — including the company.
UPS is one of those companies. Being rolled out over the last two years, UPS […]
There is an interesting saying out there: the enemy of great is good.
I don’t know about you, but I had a hard time with that saying for a long time. After all, there are few things that anyone can be great at, but quite a few things that each of us can be good at.

I am fortunate that I have a large white board where I work that I can use for…whatever. At the end of 2006, I was staring at the white board, noting how much stuff was still showing up on the board even after being erased.
So I got out the cleaning spray and cleaned off all […]
So let’s be clear: this Pimp is cynical of anything Corporate. In fact, working in a cube means it is management’s approach to the work and when you get to the nice panel office it is all about sacrificing for the corporation.
It was enlightening, then, to read about Pricewatershouse Coopers asking an old employee back […]
