Sharing Is Caring
I have found a trend in business that I find to be very troubling lately, it is the idea that only one person should or wants to have power over something. I find that systems administrators, high up IT guys or just the local security guy want to be the only one who knows about and has access to certain pieces of equipment like; security cameras, servers on your domain, or even just IT contacts. Today alone, I have ran across three situations where the an employee does not know how to use the equipment, lost the password, or found the equipment is a severe state of disrepair, all of which could have been prevented if one sole user was not responsible for the equipment. If you find yourself in that situation where one person has the sole power over something important, try to get them to share the password, the protocols, or to get the training on how to use the system, that way if they ever quit, get fired, or go on vacation your company doesn’t some to a standstill.
