Proven and practical strategies for leading IT teams and departments
In Fostering Innovation: How to Build an Amazing IT Team, accomplished technology strategist, executive, and leader Andrew Laudato delivers an eye-opening exploration of how to design, build, staff, and run a high-performing IT department. The book is filled with universally applicable strategies and techniques that can transform any IT team into an all-star cast perfectly aligned with your organization's objectives.
Incorporating proven and practical processes throughout the narrative, the book offers useful continuous improvement concepts the reader can apply to their team, company, and professional development. Listeners will also find: foolproof ways to put people before technology; detailed discussions of perennially important topics, like the importance of uptime, how to deploy redundancy, and creating the perfect organization chart; and strategies for managing and motivating the wonderfully unique individuals we refer to as "technologists." The perfect resource for newly minted chief information officers and chief technology officers, Fostering Innovation will also earn a place in the libraries of non-technical professionals who work closely with IT, and business leaders seeking a better understanding of how to lead an IT team.

I also appreciated the little injections of humor and humility.
I highly recommend this book for those in a CIO role.

Andrew’s learnings over the years provide such great value to those willing to invest the time in listening. His willingness to use his own early career mistakes to outline a better path resonated with me as a CIO.
This is an easy read, written in a language IT leaders will appreciate and brought to life perfectly in this performance.

As to the "performance," the narration was fine, but any audiobook with tables and exhibits needs to provide them on a website in visual form as a supplement. I could not find any supplemental info for Fostering Innovation, making it hard to recall and apply some of the key lessons. That's unfortunate when listeners spend just as much (or more) than readers.

Additionally, the chapters dedicated to financial definitions and etiquette felt like a high school student trying to make a word count.
An uninspiring rehash of old ideas
