How to be the best manager in the world

Simply delightful parody at Slacker Manager, listing the Seven Habits Of Highly Ineffective Managers. I checked through the list feeling smug (I am, of course, flawless), until I got to this one…
Give someone on your team a project. Don’t tell them how important it is. Keep throwing more little balls at them until they drop the big one. Complain about how they have no idea what’s really important to you. Continue until they cry or quit, whichever comes first.Do the same thing with projects you get. Focus on the urgent, forget the important, and keep fighting those fires!

Glad you enjoyed this one, and that you don’t exhibit any of these unsuccessful traits. That’d be a tough life to live, huh?
