The Blackberry Never Sleeps
Modern business and the modern world never sleep. The pace of the work world and people’s personal lives today is relentless. Those looking to be competitive and those looking to get ahead know they need to be constantly competing and constantly showing their worth.
One of the most important ways of doing this is by staying on top of work and by being very prompt in responding to any issues. Today the way these issues are spread and the way people stay on top of things is via email. A great deal of communication and all after hours business communication occurs via email.
For someone in a senior position you need to make sure to be available to quickly handle any major issues and responsiveness is now one of the number one workplace traits you need to have. This is where the blackberry comes into play.
Many cell phones today have email capability and there is a growing number of internet ready smart phones out there. Despite this though the blackberry is still the best and most common device used for accessing email remotely. Most businesses today give blackberries to key staff and so you will want to get a hold of one if you are in a position where people need to contact you off hours.
