Computer Leadership

Yesterday we looked at cell phones and leadership. Today we are going to take the technology to something a little larger than the cell phone, the computer. Just like the cell phone computers have evolved over time. We will look at the desktop, the laptop and the tablet and compare this with leadership style.

What kind of computer leader are you?

• Desktop – If you are a desktop computer leader you like stability. You like things to be in one place and always be there when you need them. You are probably a leader who doesn’t travel very often if ever. You are a down to earth leader who also expects your followers to do things by tradition.
• Laptop – If you are a laptop computer leader you love the portability of your leadership. You can lead anywhere and are not afraid to open you leadership skills in other areas of your life. You like change and if you need to make a change you can adapt quickly. You expect your followers to be able to complete things quickly if you ask them to do so.
• Tablet – If you like to use a tablet for your computing then you are an innovative leader. You love the ability to have everything rolled into one item. While a laptop is portable a tablet becomes even more portable. As a leader your mobility is crucial to your role. That is why you like a tablet, it is everything you need to be a mobile leader and it is easy to carry. You expect mobility in your followers. You want them to be able to move from project to project very quickly.
