When hiring staff, I always consider such qualifications as job history, professional skills, interpersonal skills (the airplane test–could you sit next to this person on a plane for the next 14 hours straight and not be tempted to jump?), and most important, a shared vision for what the finished product ultimately should be.
That “vision thing” also has been at the core of my most successful business relationships with subordinates and supervisors. It means all parties are heading harmoniously in the same direction.
So, when we ask who the best boss is for the CIO, the answer is a definitive: It depends (for more, see “The Suite Life,” p. 16).
