A CISO can either be the sheriff who's there reign in the wild west, or a coach that can help the team achieve the goals they need to achieve in a safe way. Almost all CISOs I've met fancy themselves as the sheriff. Very few that I've met have the background or temperament to understand what the team is trying to achieve, and then help them make the necessary adjustments that help them achieve those goals safely.
