eLeadership Best Practices: A Guide to Leading Through Technology
Abstract
This handbook contains best practices and lessons learned regarding effective and ineffective ways to lead through technology. These were compiled through extensive interviews with Army leaders at multiple levels, and were supplemented by findings from scientific literature. The best practices and lessons learned are presented in the first portion of the handbook as themes. The purpose of these themes is to help Army Soldiers become more effective leaders by presenting key considerations for leading through technology mediated means of communication (TMMC). The themes, in conjunction with other portions of the handbook, will also help leaders plan for positions that may require distributed leadership. In addition to best practices, this handbook attempts to outline a strategy to systematically identify and organize the vast TMMC choices available to military leaders and their usefulness for different leadership functions. Leaders will be introduced to a method for considering factors such as the capabilities of the technology, the technological requirements for various leader functions, and the match between available technology and leader needs.
