A quick look at digital leadership styles.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
CIOs who understand Gartner's 5 digital leadership styles, and when to adapt them, will be able to effectively lead a range of digital initiatives and adjust their style for diverse teams.

CIOs wanting a master class in situational leadership should look no further than the character of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the movie Star Wars: A New Hope . With Luke Skywalker Obi-Wan acts the mentor, with Storm Troopers the ignorable old man and with Darth Vader the Jedi Master. Obi-Wan adapts because each situation calls for a different mix of persuasion, engagement or force.

The same is true for leaders of digital transformation: Success depends on the ability to adjust your leadership style to suit the digital business initiative and the mix of personalities that make up your digital workforce.

Adapting your leadership to the situation starts by first understanding the leadership models available to you

"To be a digital leader, CIOs must abandon the traditional concept of a single, fixed leadership attitude in favor of a flexible, responsive approach that takes into account the nature of the work required, the state of the team doing the work and the role that the leader plays in shaping team performance," say s Suzanne Adnams , VP Analyst, Gartner.

Adapting your leadership to the situation starts by first understanding the leadership models available to you. Gartner recognizes five leadership "styles" CIOs can adopt depending on the desired outcome of the digital project and the makeup of the digital team.

Commanders

Define the goals of a project and provide initial guidance on the approach a team should take. Once the effort is underway, however, the commander leaves execution of the project and day-to-day decisions to the team. This approach works best for exploratory projects run by teams composed of experienced digital professionals accustomed to self-direction.

Catalysts

Provide a framework for what needs to get done and offer inspiration, creative support and brainstorming opportunities to the team. Rewards go to those members with the most innovative ideas and who take creative risks. The catalyst type works best for entrepreneurial or innovative teams working on new digital product designs.

Coaches

Provide day-to-day direction to monitor team progress on digital projects and validate outputs at each stage. Coaches give individual team members advice on ways to improve. Likewise, they set individual and team performance goals. The coach type works best with midcareer professionals focused on converting new designs into deployable digital products.

Collaborators

Take an operational role within the team to serve as an ever-present in-team resource and to model practices the team should adopt. This approach works best with inexperienced teams working on scaling or operationalizing an existing, small-scale digital initiative.

Consultants

Have vast experience with digital projects in a range of contexts. Their approach is to offer guidance, advice and context at various stages of the project, but leave the decision making to the team members. Consultants are particularly effective for midcareer professionals with solid technical skills working on efforts to improve and revise existing digital initiatives.

To become more adaptive, first review the leadership styles described to see which one best captures the approach that comes most naturally to you. Seek feedback from employees to validate your self-assessment. Then, look at the other approaches to identify the skills and instincts you need to develop.

Anticipating the Future of Teaching and Learning

Anticipating the future is human nature, but it can be risky. In our first major revision of the Horizon Report's methodology, EDUCAUSE recognizes and embraces that challenge. We've recast the report by updating its methodology and structure, while keeping its essential purpose of looking at what will most impact teaching and learning in the future.

New this year! For the educational technologies, you'll find we've moved away from the time-to-adoption structure of the past and in its place have offered evidence, data, and scenarios that inform what the future might look like. You'll also find a new section that illustrates the way the findings identified in the report are having an impact on different sizes and types of institutions around the world.

Our goal was to create a report that will enable you to learn, plan, and act on all that is influencing higher education teaching and learning, now and in the future.

Issues, Technologies, and Trends Resources

Higher education leaders and decision makers use the annual Issues, Technologies, and Trends resources-the Top 10 IT Issues, the Strategic Technologies and Trends, and the Horizon Report-to know what's important and where to focus their IT planning and management activities. When viewed together, these resources provide a more complete and nuanced guidance on institutional IT priorities.
