Every day, your cyber security team has the choice to make
an impact. An impression. Leave a mark.
The impact of that day’s work may be huge, tiny, good, or
bad. An impact is made for a day if the choice is to make one. Or an impression for an hour. Or a lifetime.
Something almost out of a love story.
Your cyber security team also has the purposeful choice to make no
impact at all.
The team can be busy as heck but remain silent, invisible,
uninformed, or not engaged. No mark left. Off quietly in the night.
Same team. Purposeful choices.
Every choice, part of the cyber program’s definition and
perception.
Good team will thirst to do what they love. Make an impact. To build that high end cyber
program. To feel “seen” by execs. And to be rewarded in some way. Ptofessionally. Financially.
Because execs remember impacts. They remember wins.
The big wins. The continual tiny ones. The wins that shape future budget decisions.
So, go ahead and pull off the restraints. Have them be part of a love story that they write themselves. Ask the team how they can
make improvements. Let them redefine themselves and the boundaries in which they work.
And then, as a leader, set the conditions that give them a real chance to make that impact.
Give ‘em hell.
