Dayna,
I am a new tech writer who wishes he had a manager that would learn how to
manage, so I appreciate your request. Frankly, I think I could do a better
job at management with my red pen tied behind my back, but unfortunately I
don't have that luxury....
Yet!
For a cool resource for managers, check out Coummunication briefings at:
You can get a free copy of their monthly newsletter, plus they have all
kind of tips online. I haven't subscribed yet, but it looks like a cool
place to start!!
regards!
-Matt Long
