IT managers: How well do you communicate?

Overview Do you tend to zealously defend technology, even if it has not been proven yet? Do you turn a deaf ear to your staff when they suggest there are merits to Enterprise JavaBeans? Perhaps your communication skills aren't what they should be. To truly answer whether you (as an IT manager) are doing a good job, you must assess not only your technical ability, but also your people skills, management acumen, and leadership savvy. Take this quiz and see how you fare. This download was originally published on November 11, 2004.
