The IT industry is always changing, and if you want to keep up, you must, too. The way IT was done 50, 40, 30, even 20 years ago bears very little resemblance to today's way of working. Even in just the last few years, the ideas of cloud computing, mobile devices, the software-defined datacenter, to name just a few, are rapidly changing how organizations view the role of IT and how IT departments get funded.
This article addresses what you need to do to be a success in IT - we will not discuss the technical aspects much (though, of course, you need to be skilled technically), but rather will focus on the other skills and characteristics that those who are successful in IT have and need; fail to develop these other attributes, and you will most likely be unemployed and looking for a new career field.
