Slack : Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency

Summary: What Can be Said For Slack?
Review: What can be said about slack that has not already been said?
Tom DeMarco certainly brings a new dimension to the term slack in his book. He explains the difference between slack and busywork and re-affirms the necessity for slack in every successful organization. "Slack is the degree of freedom in a company that allows it to change." DeMraco has conveniently divided his book into four easy reading sections with their own
"mini-themes." I personally found Part Four on "Leadership and Growth" a thought provoking and inspirational "how to guide." SLACK is directed toward management at all levels. It is especially a "wake-up call" to bad management and poor managers.
