Get Your IT Up To Speed
February 14, 2005
If no manager is responsible for coordinating your
information technology, appoint one. Find and use the best
in-house tutor available for each of the tools you need to
do your job, e.g., spreadsheets, word processors, e-mail,
PDAs. You’ll be more efficient, and each system you learn to
use will provide perspective useful for new systems to come.
If an in-house tutor is impractical, arrange outside
training for you and any employees who need it.

Increase Your Communication Effectiveness
January 21, 2004
Give people information in the format they prefer. Remember
people often send messages in the same way they like to
receive them. Some people prefer to communicate in person;
others use voice mail, e-mail, memos or the company
intranet. Don’t flood a face-to-face communicator with
scores of e-mail messages. Walk to the person’s desk and
have a conversation instead.

to be done. Here’s how:
Be A Good Listener. You can’t sell a product or service to
someone when you don’t even know anything about their needs.
Ask questions to get to know a person better. Once you’ve

New Software Technology Enhances Teamwork
18th October 2004
Email has changed the way we work, making it possible to
communicate with far-flung workers virtually
instantaneously, allowing project members to have a running
dialogue and store related files. Email has worked well as a
communications tool, but not well enough as a collaborative
technology. Major techno-logy players and many startups are
cranking out software offering email’s benefits without the
drawbacks.
