The only thing an IT person should think about is not platforms, security, clouds, OS's or one's self. They may be good for conversation and articles, but that's all. The only reason IT exists is to make sure everyone else can get their assigned job done. And while fixing the issues is vital, it is far from the most important part of the job. Keeping the corporate users feeling that they have what they need to get their job done is THEE key. If more IT people would remember that, there would be a lot less conflicts between IT and the rest the the users.
