IT is one of the most critical professions for the growth of countries around the globe, let alone businesses. Sound like adolescent games - it's not it't just the predictable realities of human behavior in groups. The professions are clearly defined groups who are in the minority. They are different from the general managers and executives who are often the largest and more loosely defined group. The clear definition makes professionals a clear target, or scapegoat, for any number of threats to business.
Professionals have special education, training and experience.
They also have power and authority by virtue of the critical skills they bring to the table. This is the rub for general executives. You have to show them the road to access your talent and the solutions that IT brings, while containing the agitiation you may feel from those who don't understand your work, who want to maintain power, and who will not invite you to show them the way, though are likely to be very willing to walk down the path if you present yourself as an able guide.
