Leadership is a many-splendored thing.
It can motivate a staff to do amazing work. It can steer a project to success when failure looms. It can spring across those invisible borders between business and IT and forge a powerful alliance. Now in its second year, our Premier 100 awards program attracted more than 500 nominations nationwide last fall. We asked those nominees to fill out an extensive 62-question survey on everything from their job experience, management styles and IT backgrounds to their views on innovation and risk.
