Review:

The 11 Secrets are especially valuable for wrestling with the problem of how to effectively market IT to your stakeholder community. Phenomenally insightful; this is EQ for IT leaders. Whether for strategic decision making or guiding day-to-day operations, I'm already putting it to work. --Jim Korcykoski, SVP and CIO of Nationwide Insurance

If you are an IT leader working to have demonstrable impact with your business partners, this book is a great handbook. It will provide you with the skills you need to succeed. --Greg Valdez, CIO of Ca Technologies

So many IT professionals and aspiring CIOs are running around blind. Many of them fail to realize that influence is the key factor. How to get it and how to use it. If you want to be a CIO who is not just taking orders but is innovating for your business, this is the book to read. --Paul Conocenti, Former CIO of NYU's Langone Medical Center

I picked up the 11 Secrets to read on vacation thinking; 'Here we go with yet another IT book.' I'm not sure who was more surprised at how much I enjoyed it, me or my kids. Suffice it to say, within a few pages I found myself underlining and dog tagging highlighting key messages and thinking 'this is definitely not the typical IT management book.' The unique value of this book, and the system Marc presents, is the tangible road map it provides for aspiring professionals and managers to follow in order to succeed in this demanding field. --Lori Beer, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Business Services at Wellpoint
