Assume that we all have A-D-D.

1. While waiting for us to complete a required piece of your project, if it is due at some point in the future, gently remind us a few days ahead of time.

2.  If you see us away from work and we are with our spouses, introduce yourself to our spouse first so we don’t embarrass ourselves by forgetting your name.

3. If you wonder if we saw an important piece of competitive information posted on a competitor’s blog or on MySpace, we didn’t.  Send it to us.  You can use email, however, we are NOT stupid.

4.  In meetings, make your important points early in the presentation and keep the number of important points to 3.

5.  Act like you have never heard our business stories before.

6.  Best suck up line ever:  “You should write a book about all you know about our business.”

7.  Ask advice even when you already know the answer.

8.  Try not to be condescending about some computer program thing-y, as in “you use the grouping function in Outlook, don’t you?”

9.  Don’t forget that we know how to do three things on the computer: we can send and receive emails (we just discovered the ‘find’ feature; we can open up Word, but we can’t use the correction feature; and we can Google things.

10.  Don’t try to explain gigabites.

That’s about all for now.  How ’bout them Bears?
