Sign of BAD CIOs

1. They overpromise and underdeliver.

2. They can't sum up their IT strategy into an elevator speech, nor can they articulate the company's vision.

3. They don't take ownership of critical issues, nor do they demonstrate accountability for problems, but they're quick to take credit for successes.

4. They can't motivate their staff and don't pay attention to building teams inside the IT group.

5. They can't attract and retain IT staff.

6. Instead of working on projects that make meaningful contributions to the company's bottom line, they focus either on projects that will look good on their résumés or on sucking up to executives by giving them Blackberrys and new laptops with wireless Internet connections.

7. They overemphasize project management to the point where 90 percent of the timeline for projects is given over to planning and only 10 percent to implementation.

8. They view project management as a waste of time.

9. They can't prioritize projects.

10. They give staff responsibility for projects but no authority, direction or support. When the individual and the project fail, they publicly berate the individual.

11. They espouse a different management practice every month.

Human Skill and Attribute (Part 1)


Everyone is unique, but some other attribute might be similar. Yet, it never exactly the same with the other person. How people think, present them self to the other, perception, behavior, communication, and other attribute greatly impact how good or bad of someone to certain area or field. But what is the main point here??? Everyone are given with subjective attribute where if we can convert it into number, the total is the equal to the other person. That is the Great One, Allah promises to us. This is the basic value once we were born and there is limitation to each of the attribute.

Everyone can sing, but not everyone has a good voice and knows how to control it to become a singer. It is the same thing applied to other skill such as drawing, writing, sport activities, communication skill, cooking, etc. Why we need to learn the same thing as the other in the school? If what I’m saying is truth, there is no point in furthering study at higher education level if we a re not given a skill to learn something. THAT IS TOTALLY WRONG!!! Even thought we are not given with the skill once we were born, yet we can still reach at certain level. That is what I said about limitation on above paragraph. Hence that is the reason why someone with great talent or skill remain in other area that there are expert for. Human are complex entity, not everyone would like to do what they can do, some rather do something that they can’t do in the beginning just because they have an interest in the other area.

Wish and Dream

Like holding a rose with glorious petal,
While wind surpass tear away piece by piece,
Every winter make it grow stronger,
Every summer make it shatter,

For every dream need to be achieved,
Sacrifices need to be completed,
And petals need to be perished,

For what it takes to achieve glory,
For other sake must be history,

ONE always grow new petal for the cost of belief,
While garden always welcome for relief,
And the air surrounds endowment breath..
