Two quick, simple management ideas.

I liked this post about ‘Secret Job Titles‘. These are the titles for what you actually do instead of what your business card says. I think it varies from week to week. This week mine might be “Be generally helpful” for the ZeroOne conference.

I also liked this post which mentioned ‘Personal Slogans on Nameplates‘. Not everyone has a personal slogan or catch phrase. People who do enjoy sharing them, and a personal slogan is a great icebreaker. The idea is buried in the post.

As a disclaimer, I am not a manager.
