IT Manager Development Series

Improve your IT management skills and achieve more.
Knowledge is power. Knowing "what to do" is half the battle, understanding "how to do it" is the next 30%,  the rest is up to you. Implement proven methods using tools designed to help you manage an IT organization effectively, and you will achieve more.

Managing IT resources is a significant challenge, possibly the hardest management role in a company. Excellent technical skills do not position you for success as a technology manager.

Improve your management awareness of what to do and you will find that both your employees and you will achieve more. Successes like this usually mean additional opportunities, higher pay, and more benefits. It's a strong motivation to want to do

Increase your odds of success.
Learn the "what" and "how" of  IT management and you will have the keys to succeed as a manager. IT resources generally work very hard, they are conscientious and want to do a good job, but the IT organization is often perceived as ineffective.

So what's the problem ?

The problem is that there has been very little training resources available that are specifically targeted to help IT managers develop management skill. Look around. You can find an abundant supply of technology material and education on almost any topic but when it comes to finding practical tools focused to IT management issues, you are pretty much out of luck.

With practical IT management insight you can achieve significant success !
After managing technology organizations for more than twenty years, I decided to put what has worked well for me  into simple, straightforward publications that focus on the nuts and bolts of managing IT organizations successfully.

Each book is intentionally short and to the point. There is no fluff or theory. They are filled with practical, proven methods that work. The IT Manager Development Series is a series of 10 publications that focus on every key area that is important in managing an IT organization, from a first line management level to the CIO.

Each publication includes tools and "how to" guides with examples to help you go faster and be more effective as an IT manager. Isn't that what we all want?
