Documentation and Organization
I don't know how I can stress this enough. If you are a system administrator, developer, IT manager, Security tech, or any other back office type technician or administrator, you NEED to keep good documentation. If you are the SME (Subject Matter Expert) on sanything and you have tips and tricks and special ways of keeping the application running, WRITE IT DOWN!
I've worked in many places, and some were excellent in their documentation, others were terrible in their documentation. Guess what, I worked 3-4 times longer for places that had good documentation as opposed to bad documentation.
If you are a manager or leader, MAKE DOCUMENTATION PART OF THE JOB DESCRIPTION!
Good documentation can save you hundreds of hours of extra work in training new employees and employee headache trying to figure out what someone who left actually used to do.
