Description
"The Adventures of an IT Leader" invites readers to "walk in the shoes" of Jim Barton, the new CIO of the fictional IVK Corporation, as he spends a difficult year learning effective information technology leadership, sidestepping the pitfalls that make the CIO job the most volatile, high-turnover job in the business. After IVK is shaken by a security crisis, Barton is forced to address his fall from grace as CIO and determine a course of action not only for addressing the crisis and improving security, but for rebuilding confidence in him and in IT as well. A key aspect of this turnaround will be communication with the CEO and senior leadership team. This chapter is excerpted from "The Adventures of an IT Leader."
