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.

Did you see yourself in one of the computer leadership style?

Where Have I Been?

 The title of this article is apropos since I haven't blogged in almost 12 years. I plan to start this blog up again and try to blog on a consistent basis. I will also be broadening the topics that I write about. Be sure to subscribe so you can get notifications about when I post. So what have I been up to since that October day in 2013 when I made my last blog? Let me recap for you. When that post happened I was in the middle of my Toastmaster journey and I'm happy to say that I crossed the Toastmaster finish line by earning my DTM. I didn't continue in Toastmasters after that since I changed jobs and took my leadership skills to Mathnasium and started running a Mathnasium in Blaine MN in 2016. I got the opportunity to blend my education degree with my MBA and use it as the Director of the Mathnasium in Blaine. I also had the opportunity to be the director at one in St Louis Park and one in  Andover. I ran these until 2023 when I decided to go back into the classroom and t...

Team of Rivals

 Today I'm going to give you a book review. My favorite books to read are non-fiction books about baseball seasons, baseball players, presidents, or history. The book I'm currently reading and almost done with is "Team Of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin published in 2005. This book is 754 pages and I have 23 pages left so I think I can give you a good indication about the book. This book is really a retelling of the political career and presidency of Abraham Lincoln as told through extensive research into diaries and memoirs of those who worked closely with Lincoln. I have really enjoyed this book and the writing of Kearns. She is able to piece together all of her information about Lincoln's presidency and life during that time. She gives us up close narratives of the behind the scenes at the White House and his cabinet especially during the civil war. More often than not Presidents will give cabinet spots to friends. This book shows that Lincoln surrounded himsel...

A Higher Calling

Being a leader can be very rewarding especially when you can help others become leaders. Leading can also be a very difficult role and it has many challenges. That is why it is important that leaders continue to grow and find ways to grow. It is through growth that leaders become better. You may find yourself being a leader at more places than just on your job. You may be a leader at home or at church. In all those areas you can find ways to grow your leadership skills. The best way to grow your leadership skills is through your higher calling. Each of us have a higher calling through God and it is your faith in him and your spiritual life that will help you grow exponentially. You need to find out what your higher calling is and become a leader in that area. Your faith is the most important aspect of your leadership role. You cannot be leader on your own you need to lean on the power of God. If you try to go it alone you will burn yourself out and you will end up making some...
