Staying the Course as a CIO by Jonathan Mitchell

STAYING THE COURSE AS A CIO: HOW TO OVERCOME THE TRIALS AND CHALLENGES OF IT LEADERSHIP The shelf-life of a Chief Information Officer can be shockingly short. Few survive in post for more than a few years. More often each falls prey to insurmountable problems and their careers come to a sharp and ignominious end.

“If you are a CIO or thinking about taking on the position, this book should be on your list of essential reading…it is an excellent book” (BCS, February 2015)

“The distillation of 30 years of experience from a CIO who knows a thing or two about an extended shelf life” (i-cio.com, February 2015)

“Michell gives useful advice on how to work through the toughest projects and solve some of the most pressing issues CIOs deal with today” (World Economic Forum, May 2015)

“For IT professionals looking to fully integrate their function into the enterprise, 'Staying the Course as a CIO' is a valuable source of practical advice, all based on real experience.” (Good Reads, June 2015)
