It is the attitude
My goodness - these are folks reporting directly to a CIO??? Wow - it reminds me - my high school reunion is coming up. Get it? What a bunch of whiners. You cannot succeed, at work, or in life, with these whiney attitudes. I like amcol's analogy of parenting, however I have always used the analogy of a marraige - you can't maintain an effective marraige relationship with a whiney, accusational attitude. I try to treat my employees with respect and honesty and trust - just as I do with my wife. I expect the same from her/them. You can't maintain an effective working relationship with a whiney, accusational attitude - from either side of the management coin.
Life is all about the attitude you take. Now, if the CIOs really do act like they are portrayed here, then we have another side of the coin that needs polishing....
