SUMMARY:THE SUSAN METROS LECTURES: THE 'NEW I.T. LEADER'
DESCRIPTION:
 Friday September 28, 2012\n
 \n
 1:30PM at Kellogg 
 Center, Room TBD\n
 \n
 RSVP at:  http://go.cal.msu.edu/metrosit\n
 \n
 There 
 is a widening gap between 
 the reality of our existing IT workforces' 
 ability and interest in leadership and the 
 expectation of what comprises a successful, 
 future IT leader. As advances in information 
 technology permeate every sector of the academic 
 community, leading an IT organization demands 
 a new set of talents and competencies.\n
 \n
 In 
 the past, technical expertise was the 
 most important qualification for selecting IT 
 leaders. However, higher education institutions 
 today are seeking to attract a new crop of 
 leaders from a diverse array of academic disciplines 
 and corporate sectors. Terms like "super-collaborator," 
 "thought 
 leader," "passionate champion," 
 and  "change agent," are infiltrating 
 senior IT leader job descriptions.\n
 \n
 The 
 new IT leader must be tactical and strategic, 
 compassionate and shrewd, collaborative and 
 competitive-all within an environment of expanding 
  needs and constrained budgets.\n\n
