The premise of this post seems odd to me. Are there really a lot of high level employees who think they're being hired just to point out problems? Similar to how nobody cares about your half though out startup idea, pointing out problems and then hanging up the phone isn't going to get you very far in most situations. Understanding problems is a good start, but devising a feasible way to address them, and executing on that approach is how you succeed at, well, all kinds of things; CISO problems included.
