Dear CEO, CTO, CIO, and other Company Leaders,

Consider this letter a wake-up call.

As an individual responsible for setting the vision of your company, please be aware that the people who work for you now, those smart, intelligent, high-tech individuals who believe in your vision, who are extremely proud of serving you, do not want to let you down.

Every day, these individuals work hard for you and you pay them well for their services. They are system and network administrators, security analysts, application developers, infrastructure architects, QA testers, and various other IT consultants.

As these individuals attempt to move your company forward towards explosive growth and expansion, incredible innovation, and unbounded profitability, you are either not aware of or not focusing enough on “how” they are striving to realize your vision and make it a reality.

Of course, you are probably thinking it’s not your job as a company leader to worry about “how” things are done so much as “why” or “when“. After all, that’s what being a company leader is all about, right?

Indeed, this may be true, but the reality is you need to be aware of the “how” more now than ever.
