As CIOs, you know leadership is a prerequisite of the role. As obvious as that sounds, I keep thinking there's something about what it means to be a leader that many people struggle to understand. And maybe some people aren't aware they don't fully get what leadership is about. Perhaps still others, having heard the word "leadership" so many times in their careers - especially as they advanced to the executive level -- that the term and the concept have lost their potency.
