This article was published on ComputerWorld on September 8, 2009 -
&#160;
I can sum up every article, book and column written by notable management experts about managing IT in two sentences: &#34;Geeks are smart and creative, but they are also egocentric, antisocial, managerially and business-challenged, victim-prone, bullheaded and credit-whoring. To overcome these intractable behavioral deficits you [...]]]></description>

The last thing an opinions writer wants is to be discovered by their, how shall I say it, least “defendable” post.&#160; But sometimes a little unvarnished opinion leads to a moment of clarity that objectivity would otherwise muddle.
Such a moment was provided to me a month ago when I was doing one of my (many) [...]]]></description>

II -&#160;Use&#160;the Resources you have&#160;-
 Damn, if I had a nickel for every organization that bleeds money on unimplemented technology&#160;and underutilized, or more accurately &#8220;inappropriately utilized&#8221;&#160;staff&#8230;
Companies, the world over, could save billions in IT, and operational&#160;costs, if they just used what they already have.&#160; It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re Unix based or [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve seen my share of IT gone wrong, and I pay attention when it does.&#160; Sure, the problems and solutions may seem obvious, &#8220;do good, don&#8217;t do evil&#8221; as a CIO colleague of mine likes to say&#8230; but&#160;making the conscious effort to recognize and stand up for the most critical values takes [...]]]></description>

Who da man? - 
What does it matter that the top IT leaders of today are more and more akin to the Pointed-Haired Boss instead of the&#160;Pocket-Protectored Practitioners of the past? An IT department is just a commodity service&#160;provided by a&#160;collection&#160;of people needing to be supervised, so&#160;any MBA will do&#8230; right?  
Well, interestingly enough, [...]]]></description>

Mistaking good values for good values -
There are a few themes that I&#8217;ll go back to over and over again. Here is one:
&#8220;Your IT is a reflection of your organization&#8217;s values.&#8221;
That&#8217;s a good thing, right? You organization values the work it does, those it employs and those it serves, so if your IT is following [...]]]></description>
