As leaders of technology teams, we rely on differing skills to meet differing challenges. Are these skills learned or were we born with them? Do we and our key team leaders have the skills we need to be successful in our business? Skills like self-restraint can make or break a successful negotiation and working memory is the foundation of some political careers. Come hear a panel of CIOs discuss how they match their skills with the business leaders they support and the business environment they operate within.

Many of today's CIOs are as much business strategists and transformation agents as they are IT function heads (focused mainly on running the IT operation). But even now CEOs and the nature of competitiveness are putting more demands on the position to shift its focus to driving business strategy and differentiation. The CIO Executive Council believes this to be the primary responsibility for tomorrow's CIOs.

This panel includes CIOs from a diverse group of organizations, so there should be something for everyone.
