Where to go?
Many people do not have the ability to have an internal mentor. In some companies, IT might be under administration and they are left on their own in most cases. The highest position being IT Manager. The VP might be HR or Accounting/Finance and they are saying, "that technical stuff" or see this team as a Support role. Where can IT Managers GO? Who can they seek out. CIO Magazine tried to develop a MENTORING program years back and not one particiapted. I tried to sign up, but got an email 6 months later that the program was stopping, no interest.
It is nice to talk about this, but many do not know where or who to turn to if the company is not offering it to them.
Thanks
