Be the change you seek – Ghandi

Every moment in time is the most important moment in time.

Be fully engaged in the moment and give your full attention to the moment.

Customers perceptions are built with first interaction.

Many customers only interaction with IT will be during a technical issue. They’re perception of that experience will carry over to the entire group and possibly the organization.

Encourage vigorous debate of ideas and potential solutions.

Be open to conclusions other than your own.

Odds are you don’t have all the answers.

Review and capture the actions and commitments that you make in every meeting and follow through on them.

Managing successfully in the technology field will utilize your interpersonal skills as much or more than your technical skills.

The successful manager will be able to deal with divergent personalities to work towards a common goal.

Be on time, be prepared, and play to win.

Accountability without authority leads to failure.

You have to be given the authority to make change happen.

Quick bike rides

I’ve managed a few quick bike rides this month. The move of daylight savings time helped in that it is not dark when I get home from work light it used to be prior to the DST change. Had a just under 6 mile ride tonight. So far my pace is .7 mph faster than last year in spite of the fact that I picked up an extra ten pounds over the winter. During April I will have to work on building pace and endurance.
