About this listen

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE TECH

I.T. technicians mining crypto on company servers. CEOs clueless about how their technology staff spend their time. Team members disappearing for hours or days on end. Managers buying high-end laptops with company funds to play video games on the clock. Organizations cobbling together outdated mission-critical solutions just to keep operations running. What is really going on in your organization?

In “It’s Not the Tech: Leadership Lessons From the I.T. Field”, you’ll uncover the real issues plaguing and handicapping organizations globally — issues that go far beyond the technology itself. Drawing from over 20 years of hands-on experience in the field of information technology, Richard shares humorous, relevant, and relatable stories that reveal the true challenges facing leaders today.

Whether you’re a senior executive seeking ways to better support your technology team, a seasoned I.T. professional looking to expand your leadership toolkit, or an aspiring leader wanting to empower and support a team, this book will equip you with the tools and knowledge to lead with confidence!
