I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing about the economy, layoffs and the stimulus package especially since we are bombarded by this news almost everyday.  However, this is the current reality we are all living in and we must continue to be productive.  Most managers I have spoken to recently have either lost headcount to hire against, have had to let people go, or both.

With a smaller team and less resources managers are still tied to goals, objectives and project timelines as if they were still running at full capacity.  CIO Insight has some good tips for managing with a reduced  headcount.  Some of these tips are no brainer's, but good to share out nonetheless.

Enjoy and please comment if you are dealing with a similar situation and how you are managing.
