Want to Know the Difference Between a CTO and a VP Engineering?

Your deepest thinkers on technology architecture are seldom good team leaders.  They often aren’t great at planning development work.  The best technologists often aren’t amazing people managers.  Sometimes they are introverts.

In fact, it my experience the best technologists are akin to artists.  They’re highly creative.  They’re sometimes moody.  They work on their own schedule and are often hard to manage.
