Scott's Help Desk Success Story!
|
I had another call about a customer having problems networking two Windows Vista machines. So I thought I would share the experience in the hopes of helping other newly adopters of Microsoft's latest and greatest. Even though we usually rely on the customers' network to be in place before trying to get Campground Manager working, I try not to miss an opportunity to help if possible. It turned out to be Norton Internet Security disabling the functionality of browsing the network. Depending on the version of Norton that you have, the directions may be somewhat different so giving a step by step explanation is not feasible. But, I thought it would warrant a warning to thoughts of you pulling your hair out. If you have a person that can help in this area, you can at least inform them of this possibility. If not, call our office and ask for me. I will try and apply what I have learned so far.site for readers to view the full text. For the full story click here.

Slacker Management Skills
|
I have been reading some stuff lately by David Zinger. He writes a blog on the Slacker Manager Website. He wrote a blog about what should be in you management kit bag. In other words what tools do you need to be a successful manager. Some of them are obvious however some are not so obvious but still ring very true. I found them quite interesting.
- A sense of humor as mirth makes for good management.
- A sense of humanity to realize we manage people and that management is a very human endeavor.
- A strong dose of integrity, honesty, and authenticity.
- A belief in ourselves, others, and the organization.
- A passion for results and accomplishment.
- A love of strong interpersonal communication.
- A good set of ears and a fine connection with others.
- A solid understanding of our organization and the organization's mission and goals.
- A real sense of service, being in this for others, and the desire for a positive legacy.
- A comfort and even a fondness for change.
- A calm and unflappable approach to others.
- A toothbrush to demonstrate that we are concrete, practical, and not afraid to smile.
Kind of makes you think. Again, check out his stuff at Slackermanager.com.
