IT on Target?

Using stories is one of the current 'tools' for leadership presense and communication. Although personal stories are best if you have one, I found this historical story with a good message about the true focus and direction for an IT group. Although it seems obvious, I think this is one of the biggest issues faced by IT shops today. In the new world where IT is being asked to not only deliver systems but truely prove their value, it would be best if everyone kept this concept in mind.
