As today's IT managers increasingly deal with the challenges of
global competition and a changing workforce, effective management and
leadership skills are needed more than ever. To address this growing
need, the AIM Institute and its business members have collaborated to
create an annual IT Leadership Academy. The goal of the academy
organizers is to help IT managers develop and enhance their leadership skills to more fully leverage the talents
and contributions of the local IT workforce and maximize its
effectiveness. View more about the need for an IT Leadership Academy...
