BrownWow…2011 went by fast didn’t it?In Dec 2010, I put together a list of Recommended Books for the CIO / IT leader for 2011. That list was a good list with many CIO/IT related books as well as many non-IT related books.When I sat down to think about a list of books for 2012, my first inclination was to mix it up again this year with some CIO/IT related books + some non-IT books.  But then…I realized 2 things: 1.) There aren’t that many CIO/IT leadership books on the market and 2.) most CIO’s don’t need help being told how to be a CIO the in traditional sense.  CIO’s today (and tomorrow) need to understand what the rest of the business is doing and how they are working.With my main focus in my recent consulting being in the areas of helping IT groups work better with Marketing, PR and Communications teams/groups, I thought I’d put together a list with a wide-range of topics that would be good for IT professionals and CIO’s to read this year.

I believe management is underrated, and leadership is just a fashionable term for one of the responsibilities of a manager.

That's why the working title of my upcoming book is Management 3.0, and not Leadership 3.0 :)
