Leadership Qualities: innovation and technology alchemy
We recently talked in class about the qualities that make a great leader: vision, determination, insight, creativity, etc. Throughout this election week, I’ve been wondering what Barack Obama’s most significant leadership qualities are. In previous elections, I cannot remember so many people around the world who were inspired and enthusiastic about our choice of a presidential candidate. The fact that Obama’s campaign has not only ignited our country — but those around the world — is an indicator of great leadership.
One of the things that I admire about good leaders is their ability to invent. And, as a technologist, I am even more impressed by leaders who recognize the power of technology and leverage it for their success. Chris Dannen wrote an interesting article about how the Obama campaign not only recognized how technology could be an effective tool for the campaign, but made a commitment to exploit technology in a way that will likely reshape political campaigns going forward.
