  Understanding What Leadership...

  Leadership is one of those things that we all think that we know what it is, but we are hard pressed to describe it to someone if they ask us. This makes picking the next generation of leaders that much harder. We want them to have the leadership skills that we know that they need, but how can we make sure that they have them? Some IT manager revert to using the time-tested trial-by-fire approach, but is this really the best way? 
  
   
  What You'll Find Inside: 
  
  YOU CAN BE AN IT LEADER, HERE’S HOW…
  IT MANAGER LEADERSHIP: TWO WAYS TO LEAD WHEN YOU’RE NOT IN CHARGE
  5 THINGS THAT AN IT MANAGER NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT RISK
  HOW AN IT LEADER CAN MOTIVATE THEIR TEAM
  
  
   
  When we think about leaders, we envision them out in front of the team encouraging everyone onward. However, in real life it often doesn't happen this way. Sure, we may have the title of a leader, but what should we do if we have not been given the responsibility? Additionally, does a leader always have to be out in front? It just might be possible to lead from behind. 
  
   
  We're not always placed in charge of the team that our career may depend on. When this happens, we need to find ways to lead the team despite not having the official responsibility to do so. In these cases, we'll be considered by the team to be part of the team and this makes our leadership challenge that more difficult as we attempt to lead the team from inside. 
  
   
  Every time that we are placed in a leadership position, our success is not guaranteed. There will always be risk associated with what we are trying to do. This means that it's going to be up to us to find a way to both manage and deal with that risk. We are also going to have to be aware that we won't always be successful. We will occasionally fail and when this happens, we need to have a plan to deal with it. 
  
   
  In any firm we may not have much of a say on who is on our team. However, when nepotism comes into play, things can become a lot trickier for an IT manager. We'll have to find a way to deal with this while at the same time trying to uncover ways that we can motivate our entire team. 
  
   
  To show leadership to your team, you need to be able to communicate with them. There are many different ways to go about doing this, but more often than not, giving an effective speech is the most direct. This is a skill that every IT manager has to work at. Public speaking is a tool that will permit you to show your leadership skills.

  Spotify Profits 20 - Music...

  Spotify has changed the way we listen to and share music in a dynamic, profound and irreversible way. Fans across the world can access songs, albums and entire back catalogs at the click of a button, and the artists behind the music get paid for every one of those streams. 
  Isn’t that incredible? Music labels are no longer a necessity. The power is in the creators’ hands more than ever before. 
  But it isn’t just a case of releasing a song onto Spotify and hoping for the best. With over 60,000 new songs being uploaded to Spotify each day, the main question for the contemporary musician is now this: 
  How do you get your music heard in such a crowded marketplace?  
  Enter Chris Greenwood, a.k.a. the award-winning Canadian rock artist Manafest. 
  With a million monthly Spotify listeners and 130 million streams, Chris knows how to harness the power of this incredible music sharing platform. He understands how to trigger the algorithm, how to pitch and get added to editorial playlists, and how to co-create with other artists to enhance your profile and your reach. He’s a virtuoso of marketing and promotion, and his Waterfall Release Strategy (shared in detail in the book) has been one of the keys to his own phenomenal success on Spotify. 
  But mostly, Chris knows how to reach people. And in this era, if you want to be both a financially lucrative andcreatively fulfilled musician, you need to build a fanbase and keep it growing. That’s how you get streams, and that’s how you make a profit on Spotify. 
  This book is the result of over a decade of careful research, thoughtful experimentation, and ultimately the mastering of Spotify. 
  Chris’ career has grown in tandem with rise of Spotify, and there is no better, more inspiring, or more direct guide for your journey into the new singles economy than this.
