Comment Skillful Manager Skillful Technologist (Score 1) 252
A CIO is the highest level of manager, and therefore his technical skills hardly come into play. We shouldn't criticize him because he doesn't have the same background as some of us. Obama doesn't know the exchange rate of the dollar to the South African Rand or the unemployment rate in South Dakota off hand. He leads people whose job it is to keep up foreign relations with SA and others who create job opportunities in South Dakota.
