Win a Book to Find Out How Laziness Can Be Productive

Andrew Filev , Monday, October 04, 2010
Peter Taylor, whom I interviewed recently, was very kind to offer a FREE book to the author of the best comment about the methodology that he told us about.  The prize is Peter’s “The Lazy Project Manager: How to be twice as productive and still leave the office early," a book that will introduce you to the secrets of productive laziness, as well as teach you how to utilize your team in the best possible way.
We have only one free book to give away, so don’t wait! Leave your comment below, saying why you find Peter’s method interesting, and become the lucky winner!

Update:

Thanks to everyone who participated! The book goes to Roger Laurenti, who emphasized the importance of good work/life balance in his comment to this post. Roger, we hope the methods Peter shares in his book will help you and your team gain even more efficiency. Congratulations!

    Most important finding for worn-out and burnt-out PMs (like me)

    I need Peter’s book, so I can read it in bed instead of doing Gantt charts.

    I manage a small team of nine IT professionals in a not-for-profit organisation. Being not-for-profit means always doing more with less. There are always more projects, on top of our normal day to day maintenance and routines, than we can handle. I also don't want anyone in my team or myself for that matter to work more than 40-hours a week. I don't think that makes us lazy. It just means I want us to work to live and not the other way around. The book sounds really interesting and would be another book towards my goal of reading 100 books on project and effective time management. I'm about a quarter of the way through.

    This is so cool. Finally someone who gets what project management 2.0 is about and that's about COMMUNICATION.
    Classic text book examples of THE project team sitting in one office working on the one project are about as relevant as a cobol workshop at an iPad developers conference.
    Follow these leads and when you're working on your next 'geographically diverse', 'chronologically challenged' project with your 'virtual team' under a 'matrix management' structure, believe me, your sanity will thank you for it...
