    About this ebook

    With twenty-five years of experience as a software engineer, Riva focuses on the successful completion of important work and ignores management fads like wicket.

    Chuck has been at the company for three years, and knows that older workers like Riva can be difficult to motivate. They get stuck doing things the same way and oppose change. He has read dozens of books to improve work effectiveness. If his promotion had been to actual manager, he could whip the group into shape in a month. His lack of real authority requires careful attention to ensure everyone uses wicket accurately.

    If unsuccessful, this project could be Chuck and Riva's last. And success is not assured, especially when sticky notes appear on their to-do board without anyone admitting to writing them.

    Author

    Katherine Lato

    Katherine Lato wrote computer programs in the telecommunication field for almost thirty years, taking every opportunity to write words in addition to computer instructions. This provides a rich background for her character-driven novels such as “Sticky Note Empire” where much of the conflict comes from forcing a mismatched team to work closely together. As the mother of three children, she brings her experience into novels such as “Making Family” and her Edinburgh Series of “Yes, And” and “Yes, But.” Working as a technical writer at Fermilab adds another dimension to her fiction writing as does her role as VP-Communications of the non-profit Partners Bridging the Digital Divide. Several short stories addressing digital inclusion can be found at: http://pbdd.org/creative-writing/ Katherine has been a member of NaNoWriMo and CritiqueCircle for ten years and has released several novels available at: katherinelato.com
