All of IT's Spinning Plates Are Falling

any new CIOs slam into an ugly truth at about one month in: The job is too big. There’s too much to know and not enough time to learn it. There’s too much to do and not enough hands to plug all the holes in the dike. There are too many relationships to be managed and not enough days in the week to manage them.

Thus, we have the recurring sad saga of plate-spinning IT leaders desperately trying to keep enough crockery from smashing into bits to preserve a modicum of job security. So intent are they on this balancing act that they have no way to see that it’s doomed.

That’s because the three plates that give them the most trouble are already broken. And yet they play a vital role in the equilibrium of all the others. If you could properly repair them, you could spin them innovatively. This would simplify your life, reduce your workload and set you up for a gratifying, less frenzied career, while adding substantive value to the enterprise.
