Entry Essay: 
Increasingly at the center of technology and business, CIOs find themselves pulled in multiple directions, with no horizon for the kinds of transformational initiatives their business counterparts view them as uniquely positioned to deliver. With this has come a wellspring of thought-leadership types intent on telling CIOs where to place their technology bets, only to increase the cognitive overload CIOs find themselves wading through by further fomenting hype. But when it comes to the fundamentals of the CIO role — setting direction, making or facilitating decisions, staffing, delegating, motivating, overseeing team dynamics, engineering the business culture, and communicating – few advisors are as well-versed in the nuances as Bob Lewis, who brings his decades of IT leadership insights and consultant savvy, as well as his no-bull dry wit, to his monthly “CIO Survival Guide” column, a must read for CIOs intent on leading organizations with a clear vision for getting the right work done.
