Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key blog what-do-you

By Janelle Godfrey All of us have a person that is higher up around the corporate ladder than us – an individual who manages us and what we do. I have spent the past week with my manager and several members of the Windows Serviceability team (they rock) recruiting Texas college candidates in Dallas and have been asked numerous questions throughout the past 3 days. I have spoken to a ton of students about Microsoft, our “culture”, our work environment,Office 2010 Activation, our free perks,Office 2007 Professional, and our myths and much more. One of the questions that has been asked a lot was that of innovation and how people are able to share their ideas. Is it easy to make things better or are people stuck in a certain way of doing things? This question eventually leads up to another question regarding management and organizational style. If you work at Microsoft can you really speak your mind? Will your manager stand in the way of your successes? Will your manager want to take credit for your work? If you don’t agree with your manager are you out of luck? This is what I would like to talk about today. I am lucky to have a great manager. He is very open to new ideas,Office 2007 Enterprise, likes to push back,Windows 7 Key, and also knows when to fight for me and my team. He challenges me on a daily basis and sometimes it’s frustrating. Sometimes I just wish I would go into his office and have him say that everything I’m doing is great and that’s it...end of discussion. Around the flip side I have also had managers who told me that everything I do is great and I don't need to change a thing. Let me tell you that's NEVER the case. I have also had managers who were out for their best interests. I have had managers that I knew I was smarter than. I have had managers that have taken projects away from me and their reasons were “I really need this to show my manager that I am an asset”. Everyone has had experiences like this. Everyone has their horror stories - it truly is the great equalizer amongst all levels of employees - we all have a person which is looking over our shoulder. Every manager was a person contributor at some time. We should all be thinking in regards to the kind of managers we want to become. So back to my main point...what does a great manager offer you? I think of a great manager as a Venture Capitalist. Think of someone who has the tools, the insight and experience to help you succeed. A manager should be the individual that you can share ideas with and they try to poke holes in your ideas,Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key, to see if there are any leaks. They should critique you, while also supporting you in your ventures. They should give you the tools you need to succeed, and let you try your projects out on your own. They should also be there when you fail, to help pick you up in the right direction again. Not everyone can be a great manager – sometimes you will have conflicts, won’t see eye to eye, may come from different backgrounds, etc. Maybe your manager isn’t your favorite particular person in the world. But regardless you should make the most out of the situation. Make it work. Learn as much as you can from that particular person, even if it’s how NOT to be a manager. Use the tools that they provide to become a more well rounded employee. Study their style and compare it to those managers that are around you that are successful and well respected. Your future employees will thank you for it in a few years. -Janelle
