Growing Technical Leaders

How to Nurture the Next Generation of Technology Giants

Baby boom IT managers will start retiring soon, so it's time to get serious about growing the next generation of technology leaders. But how? The common response, send them for an MBA degree, is coming under increasing scrutiny as a questionable answer. Just sending your high-potential, young managers to a week-long skills boot camp won't do it.

Effective leaders need a combination of managerial maturity, business acumen, wisdom and ethics in order to know what to do with skills. In this presentation, we'll talk about different approaches to growing your own future IT leaders.

10 Predictions on the future of the technical workforce
The process for growing new leaders
Selecting future leadership candidates
Retaining talented leadership
Techniques for developing their leadership abilities
