Agile Leadership: Transforming Ideas into Reality

“Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower

The powerful words of one of America’s great leaders underpins the most difficult role of the CIO. Acquiring buy-in from key stakeholders is a challenge all leaders face. The ability to translate the transformative ideas we have dreamed up, into realizable opportunities, is what is progressing innovation forward.
