Mentoring with a CIO
20-Jan-2019
I touched base with a CIO who use to work with our Bank a month ago, he has moved on to better role and newer challenges elsewhere( i do not want to take his name unless he is comfirtable in me sharing his details here, GDPR you know).
I aspire to follow him and we did have our first formal catchup as a Mentor-Mentee yesterday.
Below are some of his suggestions that i have decided to follow
1. Never use the sentence - "I will try", always use the sentence - "Yes, it will be done". When i try to understand the real meaning in it, it means be an ardent executioner and people/Managers will
apprecaite it.
2. dont follow only one mentor, follow couple more - not to create confusion, but to broaden your perspective. So you could have your boss and skip-level-boss as your mentors too, someone from another company who is senior to you could also be one. Yes it sounded interesting and yes it does has some challenges on what would i do if i get conflicting perspectives , how do i chose one over another. i guess i will do it and solve it when i come across it
3. Creating a yearly Development plan(a Master plan to be ready), which is a living document. Share it with your boss, ur skip level boss, your business colleague, your mentors. Plan a checkpoint every quarter, evaluate if you are following the plan, adjust if the plan is no longer relevant, all that you need to be agile with
Also, one idea to see your wholesome growth is to have a development plan to have the following quadrants. Suggestions on this is more than welcome as i want to see what other personas should i develop in myself to be a CIO
1. Learning from/on Business/Tech Domain
2. Learning on People reporting to me
3. Learning about the stakeholders/Partners
4. Learning for future
Next meeting is 1st week of Feb 2019
