In this new episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole opens with one of his most powerful guiding principles: “Let data drive decisions, not emotions.” Drawing from his experiences traveling and meeting with top executives, he emphasizes the importance of making decisions based on reliable data rather than emotional impulses. He challenges listeners to ask themselves whether they have enough information to make an informed choice—not perfect information, but sufficient insight to move forward. When we delay decisions out of fear or uncertainty, it’s often because we lack confidence due to missing data. Dr. Cole encourages action: if you don’t have enough data, go get it.
He then introduces his second foundational principle: “Smart people know the right answers; brilliant people ask the right questions.” These two mantras form the core of what it means to be a world-class CISO. But Dr. Cole takes it even further, revealing that the root of most professional frustration stems from a lack of alignment—whether it’s misalignment with your goals, your team, or the organization itself. He draws parallels between business alignment and physical alignment in cars or our bodies, reinforcing that clarity of purpose and alignment of actions are essential for not only being effective, but also reducing stress. Whether you’re a CISO or not, these lessons apply to every area of life.
