The Importance of Understanding Colleagues
It's crucial for cybersecurity leaders to recognize that many disagreements with colleagues stem from a lack of understanding rather than malicious intent. Instead of assuming negative motives, they should aim to educate their teammates about the importance of security protocols and initiatives. When CISOs help clarify these concepts, it fosters collaboration and ensures that necessary tasks are accomplished smoothly. This approach emphasizes that open communication can often bridge gaps in knowledge and improve workplace relationships.
