Two Questions Every IT Leader Should Ask A CEO once emphasized the importance of asking job candidates, "What have you learned in the last six months?" This question resonated with me because it underscores the significance of continuous learning. In the fast-paced IT industry, standing still means falling behind. This question assesses their mindset, curiosity, and commitment to growth—qualities that are crucial for success. However, I believe there’s another essential question every job applicant should be asked: "Who have you connected with outside of your company, and what have you learned from them?" hashtag #ContinuousLearning can be challenging, especially in technology, where changes occur rapidly. It’s hard to imagine anyone keeping up with everything on their own, which is why networking is so vital. Connecting with others beyond your immediate circle fosters a hashtag #DiversityofThought and collaborative learning. This exchange often leads to new ideas and solutions that might not emerge in isolation. By asking candidates about their external connections, you can gauge their proactivity, openness to new ideas, and appreciation for the value of collaboration. In summary, these two questions—about what a candidate has learned and who they’ve learned from—can provide deep insights into their readiness to thrive in a fast-evolving industry. The Circuit offers multiple opportunities within your community. 1. A CIO Circle is a peer-to-peer, vendor free group that allows IT Leaders to collaborate safely with each other.   2. An Emerging Leader Circle is a peer-to-peer group connecting IT Professionals who are still growing and learning.   3. A Tech Forum is an educational platform which covers a wide range of topics that affect technology professionals and frequently is presented by a panel of professional IT leaders.   4. An IT Leadership Institute: a 10-month Leadership training program geared to the IT Professional. This program is designed to help each participant understand themselves, their leadership style and how to build teams. #Cincinnati #Ohio #ITCommunity #Networking T
