The CIO Problem

"The CIO Problem, Part 1" by Jen Pahlka, Code for America

"I’d like to share one thing I tell pretty much everyone I speak with who’s looking for great digital talent.... You may be recruiting for the wrong job. Most... folks who reach out are looking to fill either a position for a Chief Information Officer or a Chief Innovation Officer. But both of these jobs are framed in such a way that it can be almost impossible to succeed in them, and the candidate you want is also the candidate who can see that, and won’t take the job."
