IT
Leadership

Why does it seem that those two words don't go together? Or at least not in the way that businesses, their leaders, their Boards, their customers and suppliers expect?
And haven't we been talking about this problem for 20 years or more? Since the dawn of IT time?

Additionally, I've talked with a number of colleagues about the challenge to identify and develop the next generation of IT leaders. These folks may be our direct reports today. The challenge exists both inside "captive" IT groups and the consulting side of the industry.

These are two of the topics I plan on exploring in this blog. Since I don't have all the answers, I'm hoping to engage the IT and business community in discussing how we meet the challenges ahead.

What do you think is the number one reason that IT Leadership continues to be such a challenge?
