Steps IT pros can take to prioritize interpersonal needs

2020-12-22 06:00

As IT departments work to plan for 2021, IT leaders will need to reevaluate, prioritize and advocate for the technical and interpersonal needs of their employees.

While leaders need to encourage continued training for their team members, an effective leader has the self-awareness to know where they personally need to develop.

Most importantly, developing this growth mindset will not only make leaders more effective and skilled in their roles, but it should have a trickle-down effect onto the team members that they lead. If team members are seeing the importance placed on development by those above them, they will inevitably take more seriously the importance of sustained improvement.

Self-leadership skill development allows IT leaders to lead by example, once they have first led themselves.

In response, it's important for IT leaders to prioritize closing the gaps that currently exist in the national cybersecurity workforce.
