Need a new leadership style? Line up the contenders

Everything you know about leadership is wrong. OK, not everything, but eventually something will displace the current leadership orthodoxy. In the next few decades, if not years, a new theory is bound to upend our current notions of what makes a great leader and how one is developed. What makes me so sure?

Online security job leads

Security job seekers have many ways to find job leads. Peer networks and social media are potential resources, especially for those who still think the best jobs are not in the public domain.

When solution providers host industry conferences

People often ask me which security conferences they should attend, exhibit at, or present at. Of course, the answer depends on their objectives, role in the industry/profession, areas of interest, budget, location, personal style, vertical market and numerous other factors.

Align your security career for future success

Security professionals who look to advance their careers will often present their past successes as an indicator of achievement of equivalent results with a new organization. The measurement of knowledge together with how one shows characteristics and competencies does have merit.

The underlying factors that influence…

Security executive interview preparation: End of year planning

December often finds security professionals planning for a career change in the following year. Lack of preparation is the primary reason well-qualified candidates fail in an interview. This means security leaders should plan their job search strategies now, not next year. One way to kick that preparation off is to understand how companies approach security executive interviews. Organizations continually develop and improve upon carefully constructed candidate assessment processes designed to aid them in selection of…
