Being a manager of Information Technology (IT) is a wonderful profession. When done properly, it combines creativity, pragmatism, leadership, and an understanding of the people, users and the businesses you serve.

I hope you find the below list to be fun and a little informative

#10 Tell your Java programmers how much you like .NET and visa versa

#9 Gossip about your staff in the office, on your Facebook page, and in the restroom without checking to see that no one is in the stalls.

#8 Put next year’s salary plan on your whiteboard and forget to erase it

#7 Pick your favorite staff members and let everyone know who they are

#6 Have really boring weekly staff meetings and make them three hours long

#5 Take credit for great tech work done by your staff members, even if you have no clue how the work was done

#4 Make your Help Desk staff wear strict business attire.

#3 Schedule a lunch meeting and forget to order the food

#2 Specialize in reverse complements like “Good job! Nice to see you didn’t screw up that last project for a change”

#1 Name your network servers after Star Trek, Star Wars and Matrix characters and spell all the names wrong
