In this episode of Size Matters Tech we talk with Bill Frederick (@wcfrederick) about taking the management route in IT and other departments. Bill is an amazing manager who likes to empower his employees (read: against micromanagement) to make the IT department the best it can be. We talk about the advantages of diversity in groups, building relationships with other departments, and how Bill helped Lauren to get her start in IT.
All the awesome stuff we talk about:
How to make the jump from the front line to management
How to manage relationships
How to build relationships with staff and other departments
Career development
Why Bill would have ever hired Lauren (TWO TIMES!)
Why micromanagement is probably bad
And a ton of other stuff…
This is a can’t miss episode! What we didn’t talk about are Bill’s several hobbies including photography, snake rearing, and a love of bugs, spiders, and animals in general.
