Book Overview

What do IT leaders (and, really, all business leaders) have to do to build their organizations and move them forward? The first edition of Leading IT: The Toughest Job in the World gave you specific, proven techniques for all eight tasks of leadership. The Second Edition adds more. A lot more. If you like metrics, it?s nearly twice as long. If you like useful metrics, it isn?t just longer ? it has twice as much useful, practical advice, covering a broader range of topics than the first edition. If you prefer specifics to metrics, here are just some of the new topics covered in the second edition: ? The importance of focus and alignment. ? Why leaders have to control their time ? and how. ? The Edison Ratio and why it matters (yes, this is a teaser). ? Why employees who can?t fail can?t succeed. ? Why ?Holding Employees Accountable? is a terrible idea. ? When and how to terminate an employee. ? The role of achievement in employee motivation. ? Why money is a terrible motivator but a terrific communication channel. ? How to measure the size of a team (hint: It isn?t the number of members). ? Culture clashes and what to do about them. ? Lots and lots of new guidance on persuasion and facilitation. ? Leadership challenges new to the 21st century. If you're tired of clich?s and inspiring-sounding but empty rhetoric that's devoid of concrete guidance, this is what you're looking for: A relentlessly pragmatic book, designed to help you become a more effective leader.
