I have had the opportunity to manage the IT function at five different companies. In four of those companies, I was the first IT manager that they had ever hired.
Like everyone who will admit the truth, I haven’t been perfect. I’ve made my share of mistakes, but have learned from them and have improved as an IT Manager as have I gained experience.
Over time in this blog, I’ll offer some IT management suggestions. Hopefully, they’ll help you to avoid some of my mistakes and offer you a shortcut to becoming an “experienced” IT manager.
