6 Ways to be a Better IT Manager

Curtis Franklin Jr. has written a post for Enterprise Efficiency on becoming a better IT manager. Specifically, Franklin’s advice is on how to manage IT teams – not contracts or technologies. He notes that although some elements are important for all managers, there are some distinct skills necessary for managing the sorts of people that gravitate towards careers in IT. Some of Franklin’s points are obvious (“hire well”), but all bear repeating.

Franklin’s six points are:
