The Adventures of an IT Leader (Updated Edition) Audiobook (Free)

Becoming a highly effective IT manager presents a host of challenges–from anticipating growing technology to controlling relationships with vendors, employees, and other managers. A good IT manager must be a strong business innovator. This book invites you to accompany brand-new CIO Jim Barton to better understand the role from it in your organization. You’ll see Jim struggle through a challenging first year, managing (and fumbling) circumstances that, although imaginary, derive from true occasions. You can read this book from beginning to end, or treat is as a series of cases. You can even skip around to address your most pressing requirements. For example, should try to learn about turmoil management and security? Read chapters 10-12. You can formulate your personal replies to a CIO’s hurdles by reading the writers’ regular ‘Reflection’ questions. You’ll turn to the book often as you encounter IT-related issues in your own career.
