The following collection of interviews offers a window into the many CIO careers out there and the steps some IT executives are taking to move ahead. For example, some take a stint on the business side, to learn the lingo, build their network and gain a true understanding of how the business works. Not sure where you want your CIO career to lead, or what you want to do? Try an executive coach, who can also help you work out issues with that difficult boss. But before you move on, don't forget to groom a successor and rehab (or reject) those problem employees.
In the meantime, enjoy the options.
