IT Leadership Growth Mindset with Michael Pompey

The demands on IT leaders have never been greater. You’re expected to be technically brilliant while also leading your teams through constant change and disruption. But what happens when your “superhero” drive to do more, learn more, and be more starts to work against you?

As Michael Pompey, Chief Information and Transformation Officer for the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania, shares in a recent podcast interview, many IT leaders fall into the trap of believing that “more is more.” They push themselves to the limit, taking on every challenge and striving for perfection. While this drive can lead to early success, it can also become a recipe for burnout and stagnation.

CIO Coaching: Leading with Clarity and Confidence in the Age of Digital Transformation

The role of the CIO has never been more demanding. In today’s rapidly changing technological landscape, CIOs are tasked with not only managing complex IT infrastructure, but also leading their teams through digital transformation, driving innovation, and ensuring cybersecurity. The pressure is immense, and the stakes are high.

Many CIOs find themselves at a crossroads. They are technically brilliant, but may struggle with the “people” side of leadership. They understand the importance of change management but may lack the tools and frameworks to effectively lead their teams through this process. This is where CIO coaching can make a world of difference.

Accountability Isn’t a Weapon, It’s Empowering with Kerry Siggins

What if accountability isn’t a weapon? Empowering leaders, like Kerry Siggins, have embraced accountability so highly that they wish for that kind of freedom and ownership for everyone around them. Most trainings on accountability say to “Hold employees accountable.” What if, instead, we invited employees into accountability. It’s an invitation into empowerment.

Accountability is a topic we discuss a lot, especially when it comes to change and transformation. Nothing changes unless individuals decide to change first. Organizations don’t change; people do. Not only does Kerry share her story of transforming her company three times, she transformed her own life from addiction into recovery because of accountability!
