Relevance of Leadership and Talent Management
There is a growing need to better manage IT – to survive the ever more demanding stakeholders and to manage an IT organisation in a shrinking talent pool of IT skills. The basis of IT leadership begins with personal management – so the discussion starts with how a leader prepares and “groom” the leadership qualities required to survive and to thrive. Various “deep-dives” are then discussed, managing stakeholders, managing demand pipeline, succession planning, managing talent, managing office politics and managing innovations, etc. These topics are essential and relevant to today and tomorrow’s IT leaders.
