Public Relations

One of the best things an admin can do is to have good public relations with the user community.

Don't just be there when problems arise. Go out to the user community when things are working. High visibility is the key.

If the users see you around and there are no problems they will believe that you care to take the time for them.

Try not to let the users always go come to you.

Go to those users that you never here from The perfect users, the ones that leave you alone. Often the don't have an understanding of what you can do for them.

I know many will say, "I don't have time!" Just a calm walk through a department is really all it takes, sometimes you never have to stop.
