Being a CIO is a thankless job. If people don’t talk about you and your department, then you are probably doing great. If they complain you have to learn to not take things personally. I had the CEO of a company come to my office to yell and scream just a couple of weeks into my new job when our major system was down. I could have said I just got here, but I had to sit there and let him get his anger out of his system and then patiently explain to him what we were doing to get the system back up.
