• As an IT manager you will probably recognize that leading technology teams
requires particular skill and expertise.
• Technology teams have their own characteristics.
• IT employees often believe that technical knowledge is extremely important,
and also a very good measure of ability. And they can sometimes be surprised
how highly companies value employees who have limited technical
understanding.
• IT people are often self-sufficient which can reduce the communication
between team members. They also love solving problems and are often on the
lookout for problems to solve.
• Team managers need to be more inclusive in their approach, think carefully
about how work is allocated and recognize the importance of good technical
skills.
1.Recruit good people
If possible, ask for the right to hire one or two people into your team when you take the job.

If you do need to hire from outside and you do not have a candidate readily available, choose a good
recruitment firm or head hunter. Work with them to choose the best candidates.
Be clear what you are asking for, but don’t be too specific. The skills you need today may well change in
a few weeks. You may regret it if you choose a specialist who can’t adapt. Good people will be versatile.
Always conduct your interviews with a colleague, ideally, your HR manager.

Think about which competencies are required for the role.

Prepare properly for interviewing candidates.
Put the candidate at ease – you are recruiting them to do a job in the IT department, not to be good in
pressure interviews.
It can take time to find the right people. Don’t be tempted to give in to deadlines.
Good organization for the overall IT department is vital. Many options and
permutations exist and include a combination of the following:
• Life-cycle – e.g. strategy & planning, projects, application support,
infrastructure
• Process – e.g. sales process, manufacturing process
• Departmental – e.g. sales department, distribution
•Location – e.g. Europe, Asia, North America
•Application – e.g. ERP, CRM
• A key part of organizational management is the development of the right
skills, deploying them to best effect.
• The Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) provides a clear
universally recognized model for describing IT practitioner’s skills. They
are defined in two axes:
•Categories – which are further broken down into sub-categories to
group standard IT job roles
•Levels – define the different levels of competence or attainment
SFIA categories

SFIA levels

Strategy & architecture

7. Set strategy / inspire, mobilize

Business change

6. Initiate / influence

Solution development &
implementation

5. Ensure / advise

Service management

Procurement & management support

4. Enable
3. Apply
2. Assist

Client interface
1. Follow
• Top teams work together in a particular and distinct way and normally
have a set of team ‘values’ to guide them.
• Value statements reflect the actual beliefs of an organization and must be
backed up with actions so there is clear evidence that they are supported.
1. Be easy to understand
2. Write down important instructions

3. Really take time to listen – I mean really listen.
4. Recognize that your way isn’t necessarily right – and certainly isn’t the
only way.
5. Be sensitive to culture and social context

6. Not all good news is good
• Good direction and clear objectives have a massive positive effect on the
success of any team
• Vision needs some reality, particularly for IT people.
• IT strategy should describe both your vision and the targets you are seeking
to achieve.
• Objectives should be set in each of the four quadrants of the balanced
scorecard, namely, customer or end user objectives, process objectives
including technical performance (again in IT’s case), people objectives and
financial objectives.
From the IT objectives, define objectives for every IT team member. Objectives
should be properly defined using the SMART acronym as follows:
• Specific – clearly defined and unambiguous
•Measurable – in terms of time, cost, quantity and / or quality
• Achievable – in other words, agreed and understood by the team member

•Realistic – so the necessary resources available, enough time has been allocated and
are there no conflicting tasks
•Timely – a clear timescale is agreed
The following three questions will help assess if a team has good direction:
1. Does the team know what to do?
2. Does the team know when to do it?
3. Does the team know what order to do it in?
The working environment includes many things, including:
• Location and access of the office for public transport or parking
•Location relative to other departments, for example housed in the same building or
on the same campus
•The quality of the office decor, including furniture, and other office facilities such as
printers and copiers.
• Working conditions such as air conditioning and lighting
•A proper reception and enough meeting areas
•Additional facilities such as break-out areas, quiet rooms, drinks machines, cafes
and gyms
In the world of IT, it is important to keep abreast of new technical developments
and keep skill relevant. IT managers have a duty to develop their team.
• All managers need to delegate to get their job done. But the way in which a
manager delegates says a lot about their effectiveness as managers. It also gives a
great opportunity for developing team skills. Use different styles in different
situations.
• Coaching is not a simple exercise, but it can be a highly effective way to develop
the skills of your team. It can be done both formally, through regular progress
reviews or informally, taking advantage of the opportunities in the day to day
working environment.
1. Be clear in your own mind what it is that need improving with an outline view as to how this
may be achieved.
2. Identify a suitable opportunity to give the feedback and ask permission before you go ahead.
3. Once agreement has been given for a feedback discussion, give an example of what was said or
done or indeed not done.
4. Explain the impact that you thought this had – give a balanced view to maintain rapport and
listen carefully to their view
5. Assuming that your feedback is considered valid by the team member, agree between you what
needs to change – in other words commit to what needs to stop or maybe start or continue
6. Finally, get an acknowledgement that the team member is happy with the feedback and has
taken it on board.
Typical objectives you might set them might include:
• Building rapport – perhaps looking for ways outside the meeting to get to know
peers and senior managers better
•Building influence – for example, with a key sponsor or business user
•Understanding problems better – for example, using advanced questioning
techniques
•Finding out what is happening in the organization – learning more about products,
senior level strategy
• Leading vendors offer an excellent insight into the IT industry.
• Vendors know the market and latest technologies intimately.
• They know what the future of the industry will bring
• There are many networking groups set up for IT managers including our
own IT Leaders Network, which meets three times a year.

•

Networking is not just about joining network groups. It is important for all
IT managers to build up a close group of peers, associates and colleagues
who they know well and can confide in.
• It may take time to find out whether someone is simply in the wrong job, or
whether their career is best served elsewhere.
• If you have a problem with one of your people, it may be helpful to review how it
came about
• To assess if this is the case for you, ask the following three questions:
 Does the person have the skills they need to do the job and if not why not? Is
it a problem with recruitment, or are they in a different role which doesn’t
suit them?
 Is their poor performance down to external factors, e.g. personal problems or
an attitude tarnished by previous bad management?

 Are they doing an impossible task? Perhaps the job is undoable because of
inadequate resources or the wrong contractors. Is it down to a root problem
with procurement perhaps?

Team leadership

  • 1.
  • 2. • As an IT manager you will probably recognize that leading technology teams requires particular skill and expertise. • Technology teams have their own characteristics. • IT employees often believe that technical knowledge is extremely important, and also a very good measure of ability. And they can sometimes be surprised how highly companies value employees who have limited technical understanding. • IT people are often self-sufficient which can reduce the communication between team members. They also love solving problems and are often on the lookout for problems to solve. • Team managers need to be more inclusive in their approach, think carefully about how work is allocated and recognize the importance of good technical skills.
  • 3. 1.Recruit good people If possible, ask for the right to hire one or two people into your team when you take the job. If you do need to hire from outside and you do not have a candidate readily available, choose a good recruitment firm or head hunter. Work with them to choose the best candidates. Be clear what you are asking for, but don’t be too specific. The skills you need today may well change in a few weeks. You may regret it if you choose a specialist who can’t adapt. Good people will be versatile. Always conduct your interviews with a colleague, ideally, your HR manager. Think about which competencies are required for the role. Prepare properly for interviewing candidates. Put the candidate at ease – you are recruiting them to do a job in the IT department, not to be good in pressure interviews. It can take time to find the right people. Don’t be tempted to give in to deadlines.
  • 4. Good organization for the overall IT department is vital. Many options and permutations exist and include a combination of the following: • Life-cycle – e.g. strategy & planning, projects, application support, infrastructure • Process – e.g. sales process, manufacturing process • Departmental – e.g. sales department, distribution •Location – e.g. Europe, Asia, North America •Application – e.g. ERP, CRM
  • 5. • A key part of organizational management is the development of the right skills, deploying them to best effect. • The Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) provides a clear universally recognized model for describing IT practitioner’s skills. They are defined in two axes: •Categories – which are further broken down into sub-categories to group standard IT job roles •Levels – define the different levels of competence or attainment
  • 6. SFIA categories SFIA levels Strategy & architecture 7. Set strategy / inspire, mobilize Business change 6. Initiate / influence Solution development & implementation 5. Ensure / advise Service management Procurement & management support 4. Enable 3. Apply 2. Assist Client interface 1. Follow
  • 7. • Top teams work together in a particular and distinct way and normally have a set of team ‘values’ to guide them. • Value statements reflect the actual beliefs of an organization and must be backed up with actions so there is clear evidence that they are supported.
  • 8. 1. Be easy to understand 2. Write down important instructions 3. Really take time to listen – I mean really listen. 4. Recognize that your way isn’t necessarily right – and certainly isn’t the only way. 5. Be sensitive to culture and social context 6. Not all good news is good

  • 11. • Good direction and clear objectives have a massive positive effect on the success of any team • Vision needs some reality, particularly for IT people. • IT strategy should describe both your vision and the targets you are seeking to achieve. • Objectives should be set in each of the four quadrants of the balanced scorecard, namely, customer or end user objectives, process objectives including technical performance (again in IT’s case), people objectives and financial objectives.
  • 12. From the IT objectives, define objectives for every IT team member. Objectives should be properly defined using the SMART acronym as follows: • Specific – clearly defined and unambiguous •Measurable – in terms of time, cost, quantity and / or quality • Achievable – in other words, agreed and understood by the team member •Realistic – so the necessary resources available, enough time has been allocated and are there no conflicting tasks •Timely – a clear timescale is agreed
  • 13. The following three questions will help assess if a team has good direction: 1. Does the team know what to do? 2. Does the team know when to do it? 3. Does the team know what order to do it in?
  • 14. The working environment includes many things, including: • Location and access of the office for public transport or parking •Location relative to other departments, for example housed in the same building or on the same campus •The quality of the office decor, including furniture, and other office facilities such as printers and copiers. • Working conditions such as air conditioning and lighting •A proper reception and enough meeting areas •Additional facilities such as break-out areas, quiet rooms, drinks machines, cafes and gyms
  • 15. In the world of IT, it is important to keep abreast of new technical developments and keep skill relevant. IT managers have a duty to develop their team.
  • 16. • All managers need to delegate to get their job done. But the way in which a manager delegates says a lot about their effectiveness as managers. It also gives a great opportunity for developing team skills. Use different styles in different situations. • Coaching is not a simple exercise, but it can be a highly effective way to develop the skills of your team. It can be done both formally, through regular progress reviews or informally, taking advantage of the opportunities in the day to day working environment.
  • 17. 1. Be clear in your own mind what it is that need improving with an outline view as to how this may be achieved. 2. Identify a suitable opportunity to give the feedback and ask permission before you go ahead. 3. Once agreement has been given for a feedback discussion, give an example of what was said or done or indeed not done. 4. Explain the impact that you thought this had – give a balanced view to maintain rapport and listen carefully to their view 5. Assuming that your feedback is considered valid by the team member, agree between you what needs to change – in other words commit to what needs to stop or maybe start or continue 6. Finally, get an acknowledgement that the team member is happy with the feedback and has taken it on board.

  • 19. Typical objectives you might set them might include: • Building rapport – perhaps looking for ways outside the meeting to get to know peers and senior managers better •Building influence – for example, with a key sponsor or business user •Understanding problems better – for example, using advanced questioning techniques •Finding out what is happening in the organization – learning more about products, senior level strategy
  • 20.
  • 21. • Leading vendors offer an excellent insight into the IT industry. • Vendors know the market and latest technologies intimately. • They know what the future of the industry will bring
  • 22. • There are many networking groups set up for IT managers including our own IT Leaders Network, which meets three times a year. • Networking is not just about joining network groups. It is important for all IT managers to build up a close group of peers, associates and colleagues who they know well and can confide in.
  • 23. • It may take time to find out whether someone is simply in the wrong job, or whether their career is best served elsewhere. • If you have a problem with one of your people, it may be helpful to review how it came about • To assess if this is the case for you, ask the following three questions:  Does the person have the skills they need to do the job and if not why not? Is it a problem with recruitment, or are they in a different role which doesn’t suit them?  Is their poor performance down to external factors, e.g. personal problems or an attitude tarnished by previous bad management?  Are they doing an impossible task? Perhaps the job is undoable because of inadequate resources or the wrong contractors. Is it down to a root problem with procurement perhaps?
