Management Mini Saga
by David Zinger
Rajesh Setty wrote a delightful change this manifesto: Mini Sagas: Bite Size Lessons for Life and Business.
A mini saga is written in 50 words -not more, not less, exactly 50 words.
Rajesh lists 3 benefits of writing a mini saga:
- Writing a mini saga expands your creativity.
- Writing a mini saga stretches your thinking.
- Writing a mini saga enhances your discipline.
Here is an example of one of the sagas that Rajeesh offers:

Watch for the first Management Mini Saga Case Study in Slacker Manager on August 19th. You will have the opportunity to determine what should come next when Alex makes a startling discovery after working late on a Thursday night.
I think mini sagas are great
It’s quite interesting how they made that short story exactly 50 words, didn’t look like it.
