“I’m not a math person,” “It’s too late to learn how to code,” “I can always hire someone to run the technical aspects of my company.” Three old-school views of executive responsibility in a world dominated by technology.
We wouldn’t accept a CEO who says, “I’m not really financially inclined,” so why should we accept leaders who don’t understand, at more than just a passing level, the technology that lies at the heart of their businesses? Good points from Andrea Coravos.
