I'd imagine since the federal workforce isn't Google's that managers need to identify on a case-by-case basis who tends to play or investigate in ways that may be helpful and who might not.

These ranged from long-term research projects to making a presentation. While not everyone came up with business-changing ideas, I think it provided everyone an outlet for their more creative, innovative side (all of us being numbers oriented).<br /><br />I do know that several new products did come out of that "down-time" and I plan to implement something similar in my new agency.John Sporingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213503691270465372.post-89943718843165093062009-08-30T11:29:03.438-04:002009-08-30T11:29:03.438-04:00so playing devil's advocate -- what are people...so playing devil's advocate -- what are people doing with the other 80% of their time?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589167189683808839noreply@blogger.com
