Finally — a free 150-page presentation (in PDF format) which reports on a mongo survey of information technology workers. If you read it and memorize it, you might help your tech worker stay happy. And if your tech worker is happy, EVERYBODY might be happy. Check it out at

As a 75 year old former missions IT person with 35 years computer experience, I totally agree with this person’s comments, though I left the foreign missions field 10 years ago because of health. The instructor has a good feel for handling of IT people but I think he brought on much of the negative feelings on himself by his attitudes toward management. I did not run into that “controlling management” he espouses in his presentation. Very good reading and course presentation.
