There was a lot of passion in the room last week when I presented Working with Developers at the Stubbs Precellerator. I.e., they need a developer more than they need a CTO. Many are not interested in 3rd party technologies that can streamline development. So I promised that I would provide a follow-up after the session.

For instance, a friend of mine found it difficult, as a young engineer, to establish a relationship with his company''s CTO. The CTO''s calendar was booked solid, except for lunch, which he spent running. My friend, who was not a runner at the time, summoned the courage to ask the CTO if he could run with him.

You’ll get sales information from your VP of Sales, marketing information from your VP Marketing, tech information from your CTO and so on. But I knew that to be a good decision maker I needed first hand knowledge rather than just a summary from my CTO. But as a CEO you can’t rely solely on this information.
