Domaine de Pellehaut – L’été Gascon

“S’il est difficile de délimiter avec précision la Gascogne dans l’espace, c’est dans une géographie du coeur et de l’âme qu’il convient de l’approcher. Au delà de toute frontière, la Gascogne c’est un sentiment d’appartenance à l’image d’un pays mais surtout à un esprit, un tempérament….. Ce tempérament Gascon a largement été décrit et défendu dans la littérature. On le dit gai, malicieux et vantard, paresseux mais très brave. Il joue de panache et d’espliègrerie…..Exubérant et expansif par nature, le Gascon n’en est pas moins réservé et discret. Il n’est
jamais pressé. Comme l’espace, le temps gascon n’a guère de limites et paraît avoir une autre durée. Le traditionnel quart d’heure gascon (soit environ trois quarts d’heure au chronomètre!) désigne une pratique du retard quasi-systématique.
En Gascogne, même l’hiver n’est jamais en avance, c’est parce-que l’été tarde à partir. Entre Garonne et Pyrénnées, l’automne est la plus belle des saisons et on la nomme “été gascon”.

€1.970
Salariscijfer brengt elke week uit de salarisenquete van Vacature en KU Leuven.
Een jonge starter die met een universitair diploma in het ‘personeelsbeleid’ stapt, ontvangt een brutosalaris van 1.970 euro. Het ‘personeelsbeleid’ omvat naast de personeelsdiensten van de bedrijven ook de uitzend- en selectiekantoren. Het loonverschil tussen een starter met een diploma hogeschool (korte type) vergeleken met een universitair is nog geen honderd euro bruto. Ook de loonspanning tussen een beginneling en een middenmanager met twintig jaar ervaring is beperkt, vergeleken met andere sectoren.

What makes a good CIO great?
Good question, tough answer. Jim Collins provides ideas regarding the differences between good and great. He discussed them at these years Gartner Symposium CIO Program in Orlando. Collins, the best selling business author and advisor, has studied the differences between good and great companies and leaders for more than twenty years. His books Build to Last, Good to Great and How the Might Fall shape executive thinking about themselves and their company.
Collins work is a place to start in answering this question. Collins in fact invited CIOs to assess their leadership skills and get materials from his web site http://www.jimcollins.com. There you will see the characteristics of Level – 5 leadership which are essential to any executive and probably more so for the CIO.
No one can know if a CIO has gone from good to great without working with him or her in depth and seeing their track record. All of us are great for time-to-time, but sustained greatness is something different. Building on those thoughts here are a few others more around signs that are indicative that a CIO might be great in no particular order:
Great CIOs have great teams. This is often the last thing mentioned in lists comparing good to great, but it should be the first thing.
Great CIOs are business leaders and see business results. How you introduce yourself says much about your focus and self-identity.
Great CIOs understand IT’s leverage points in their business model. They describe their company in terms of its fundamentals, the things that drive earnings per share, market success and customer choice.
Great CIOs communicate clearly. They take complex issues and speak about them without over simplification.
Great CIOs ask good questions. They recognize that they do not have all the answers and that every answer or plan can be strengthened with good questions.
Good CIOs have many of these same characteristics, but there is something different about the ones who are great.
Greatness in a CIO is not a function of the company they work for, the salary they earn, the size of their title or other factors. There are great CIOs at small companies and not so great CIOs at big companies.
The points raised above require some additional explanation and therefore the subject of additional blog posts. However, to get the conversation started. What else makes a great CIO?
