EDITOR’S QUESTION
more important than another, but a CIO
needs to start with building trust in his or
her team first. There is always something
more and new to learn and coming in only
to revolutionise the natural order of things
before understanding how a company’s
DNA and what makes them tick, could
prove fatal.
The successful CIO needs to take adequate
time to understand the IT team, what
inspires them and think strategically about
staffing changes. Gaps in the team need to
be filled with remaining staff to be mentored
and coached toward transformation.
Trust in one’s team is generally earned by
being a good communicator, meeting and
talking to colleagues, spending time with
them and being authentic.
