Pensando y Trabajando por
un Líder de Seguridad Digital
Thoughts of LSD
Mindset of a Digital Security Leader (#DSL/ #DigitalSecLeader)
Andrés Ricardo Almanza Junco
For this from CISOS.CLUB we leave this table of questions that seek that the reader evaluates his level in each one of these dimensions
and with it determines in opinion of the reader his type of mentality.
Dimensions Questions Considerations
Challenges What does a challenge mean to you? Start from least to most
What is the first step that you when facing a challenge?
Obstacles
What is your vision in the face of the obstacle you face?
What do you do when you find an obstacle?
Effort
Do you think about the effort with perseverance?
Resilience requires resistance. Use resistance
as a work tool
It is normal; it is the way to build mastery.
Do you take the effort as necessary?
Criticism
How do you take criticism?
What is your feeling when you receive a criticism?
Success of others
Do you perceive the success of others in what way?
They are the tool par excellence. The tools you
collect, which you do not consider useful,
discard them
A leader tends to the success of others is a way
to measure leadership. Those who succeed first
helped by you will be those who show their
results for you.
In the mentalities of growth, failure is seen as a learning tool that allows us to continue improving. Failure is not something that people
recriminate themselves with. It is a companion to the journey that drives improvements, they are accepted and it is seen as normal
failure. It tries to even fail with intention. In fixed mentalities, the opposite happens: the fear of failing is the great obstacle that
prevents risk taking in an intelligent way.
A #LSD must therefore seek to tend to have a growth mentality that allows it to adapt in the quickest way to changes in a digital context
such as humanity is in these moments. It must be said that the mentality develops and that each #LSD must decide which way to go, they
are not defined preconceptions. The closer you get to a growth mindset, the better the #LSD will be able to define security postures that
are in line with the organizational reality.
So things.
Which growth mentality do you want to develop? How do you think you can start? What of what you know today must be preserved in
order to have a growth mentality? What practices should you set aside to advance on the path of a growth mindset ? When do you think
you can start to develop a growth mindset ?, Who do you think can help you in that career?
