ABSTRACT
The principles of information
technology evaluation typically presume a transactional leadership style.
This paper begins with the assumption that evaluation can be used in ways
other than as the exercise of transactional leadership. It uses data drawn
from a study of the expertise of UK Financial Directors to suggest some of
the implications of transformational leadership for the exercise of
evaluation. The paper argues that evaluation as framed by transactional
leadership is given responsibility for decisions regarding information
systems evaluation whilst for transformational leaders evaluation can
become the means by which individuals are enabled to take responsibility
for their actions.
Keywords: Evaluation,
Transactional Leadership, Transformational Leadership, Intellectual
Stimulation. |
