              7 traits of inspirational IT leaders

              All CIOs are leaders, yet only a select few are truly inspirational leaders. Here’s how you can become one of them.

              All successful CIOs know how to instruct, motivate, energize, and even excite their teams. Yet only a relative handful of IT leaders can truly be described as inspirational figures, capable of leading their teams to goals that collegues at other enterprises can only dream about.

              CIOs who are purposefully positive and responsible, with a focus on integrity, tend to inspire others, says Ola Chowning, a partner at global technology research and advisory firm ISG. “CIOs who show, through example and vision, those values and their own firm conviction and integrity to those values, will motivate team members to emulate their behavior and aspire to be like them,” she notes. Such CIOs also acknowledge, promote, and celebrate colleagues who either inspire them or can inspire their team.

              Fortunately, most inspirational IT leaders are self-made, not born. Following are seven qualities to target as you begin your journey to leadership glory.

              1. They roll up their sleeves and collaborate

              2. They put people first

              3. They cultivate a sense of purpose

              4. They master soft skills, incorporating everyone into their vision

              5. They are inclusive

              6. They encourage ownership

              7. They are authentic
