From 10 Things, here’s a list of IT team leadership styles. IT managers have a poor reputation as managers, but I find that stereotype is not always deserved. All managers have to deal with their periods of fear, overconfidence, and weakness.
My university’s MSIS program helps students develop their leadership and management skills through coursework, especially in the IS 6100 and IS 7010 courses that I teach.
For some students, additional work may be needed outside the classroom. Toastmasters is one way to get public speaking experience, and I highly recommend this group. The meetings are a fun way to network, too.
