Beschreibung

In an era where technology drives both day-to-day operations and strategic innovation, the role of IT leaders has become increasingly complex. IT Leadership: Balancing Competing Tensions in a Rapidly Digitizing World delves into the unique challenges IT leaders face, balancing their responsibility for leveraging technology to drive performance while managing specialized teams and budgets. IT leaders must navigate organizational tensions, manage "shadow IT" initiatives, and make critical decisions amid rapid technological changes like AI and cloud computing. Drawing on recent studies, this monograph explores the evolving expectations of IT leaders and provides insights on how to manage the growing demands of modern organizations. The monograph begins with a review of the IT leadership literature by first discussing the various domains of scholarship that address IT leadership questions. The authors then review several of the theories that have been used to guide prior IT leader research. The monograph examines several of the contemporary issues and administrative challenges that IT leaders face. Finally, the authors conclude with suggestions for future examination. Whether you are an aspiring or seasoned IT leader, this work offers invaluable guidance to thrive in the digital age.

Joseph Taylor grew up in a suburb of Baltimore and spent a good portion of his life in the same community. Joseph attended local schools and met his wife in that same community. Other than life experiences, he has no subsequent formal education. Joseph and his wife married at the age of 21, and they both anticipated a lifelong love affair. Most of his professional career was spent at one company (nearly 45 years). As of this writing they have two children... both are happily married; and Joseph and his wife remain very close with them. They also boast two grandchildren. When he was in his 40s Joseph started to branch out into various volunteer opportunities. Before long he was on the 'board of directors' of several organizations. As he reaches 70 years, he remains very active in several organizations and is most proud to have been honored with formal community recognition on two occasions. During an approximate 15-year time frame, Joseph suffered an unimaginable depression. (It's the basis of this book.) He has no idea how he was able to hide this from his friends, family, relatives and other acquaintances. More than once he thought about ending his life. No one knows that. Soon, Joseph and his wife will be married 50-years. His wife is a very private person and he doesn't want his family and friends to know the full weight of everything that he dealt with. He is better now and thinks she is too. He just wants to leave it alone for now. This is why he has written the book using a pseudo name. Writing this book... and re-living the worst time of his life has enabled him to somewhat get over it... and move forward. One day soon, he may actually acknowledge that he is a 'senior'.
