INSIDERS VIEW
CIO's TAKE A CLOSER LOOK IN THE MIRROR?
As leaders, CIO's are by no means as strong as they think they are. The majority
of non-CIO's give their CIO's excellent or good marks for effectiveness as
leaders. But they give CIO's much lower marks for leadership than CIOs give
themselves-and that's a problem.
CIO's who aren't viewed as leaders won't be able
to lead. CIO's also think very highly of the leadership skills of their top
executives- even those executives are more moderate in their self-assessments.
One consolation: CIO's are rated more favorably by their direct reports than CFO's
or other IT executives; only the CEO scores higher.
