As a CIO under fire, is it better to be liked or respected? How do you distinguish between risk and recklessness? When should you defend your position, and when should you give ground?
The answers may surprise you.
Business is a hotbed for conflict, and CIOs often find themselves at the center. As Italian political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli implied, you’re either predator or prey, and the animal you most resemble determines your position on the food chain. In The Wolf in CIO’s Clothing, Gartner analyst and author Tina Nunno expands on Machiavelli’s metaphor, examining seven animal types and the leadership attributes of each. She posits the wolf — a social animal with strong predatory instincts — as the ideal example of how a leader can adapt and thrive.
Technology may be black and white, but successful leadership demands an ability to exist in the grey. Drawing on her experience with hundreds of CIOs, Nunno charts a viable way to master the Machiavellian principles of power, manipulation, love and war. Through compelling case stories, her approach demonstrates how CIOs and IT leaders can adjust their leadership styles in extreme situations for their own success and that of their teams.
The eBook features five videos with the author and links to an online quiz that highlight the key questions CIOs should ask themselves to assess their readiness for extreme situations.
