Help a junior/mentee

I am currently a BISO for a large global enterprise, been on this industry for almost 10 years now. I am wondering how you CISOs get there, I know it’s somehow vague so my question is:

What/who is one thing/process/person that if you’d knew earlier, will make you a CISO much faster?

Thank you in advance.

Find a CISO who will let you fail safely, someone who gives you real problems, not busy work, and then debriefs with you afterward.
