5630 Assignment 2: The Nature of Effective IT Leaders: Characteristics and Outcomes



Think of an IT Leader, or educational leader, who you feel demonstrates excellent leadership qualities. Reflect on these qualities using some of the readings assigned within this course (or additional readings as described below). Using your reflection and the readings describe a core characteristic of this exemplary IT Leader (or educational leader). What is one of the core elements that make this leader effective? It may be a characteristic you have observed, for which the leader is generally known or for which they have been awarded recognition. Be sure to provide supporting evidence of the construct of this leadership characteristic by citing readings that support your observation. In other words, provide both a reflection on your observation and provide supporting evidence using the available literature.

As well, identify outcomes sought by this leader that relate to his/her core leadership characteristic. What are the outcomes sought by this leader? How do they appear to relate to the leader’s fundamental leadership characteristic?
