Most CEOs discover their CTO or technology leader falls into one of seven distinct patterns. Each archetype has specific blindspots that cap your technology team's impact. Find out where you sit in under 3 minutes.
I'm Timothy J. Hitchens. I've been a technologist for over 40 years and a technology leader for over 25+ years. During that time, I've coached hundreds of technology leaders and it always comes down to 7 types.
These seven archetypes are consistent. Some are scaling beautifully. Others are stuck in patterns that worked five years ago but are now holding the business back.
The question isn't whether you're a good leader. The question is whether your current archetype matches what your business needs right now.
Take the self assessment below to discover your archetype and what it means for your team's trajectory.
Most technology leaders are in the wrong role for their business stage.
This 3-minute assessment will show you:
→ Which of 7 CTO archetypes you are right now
→ Why your current approach works (or doesn't)
→ What needs to change for your next stage
Answer based on how you're operating TODAY, not how you wish you were.
Your archetype explains a lot about why your team operates the way it does. The good news? Every archetype has a clear transformation path.
The real question is what happens next. Most technology leaders stay in their current archetype because they don't have a structured way to evolve. That's where the Assess conversation comes in.
In a 30 minute Assess call, we'll identify which of the 5 stages your business is in, and whether your current archetype is matched to that stage. You'll walk away knowing exactly where the misalignment is and what needs to shift for your technology team to drive growth instead of hold it back.
No pressure. No pitch. Just clarity on whether there's a fit and what's possible.
These calls are reserved for CEOs, CTOs and board members ready to transform their technology function from cost centre to growth engine.
