As IT leaders, we often make the world better in indirect ways, such as by improving customer satisfaction, eliminating inefficiencies, improving profit margins, reducing costs, or reducing carbon footprints. For those who seek something more, there is plenty we can do as leaders to enjoy meaningful careers that will benefit both ourselves and the business.

At our next TechLX Leadership Connection Speaker Series event, I’ll be joined by Peter Weis, a 2014 inductee into the CIO Hall of Fame with over 20 years of global CIO experience, most recently as Global CIO of Matson, a $2.3B publicly traded company.

During this fireside-chat-style conversation, Peter will discuss how meaning and purpose lead to better engagement, less turnover, and better business results — and why the pursuit of meaning should be a conscious effort by every IT leader today.
