Summary Leadership Development Mentoring Succession Planning Excerpt from 2010 Higher Ed Tech Leadership Study "...although 52 percent of the tech leaders want to become a CIO, no one is mentoring a majority of this upcoming generation and of those who are being mentored, many are not actively doing anything to prepare for the CIO role (such as working on an advanced degree, gaining the experience or skills required, etc.)."  (Dr. Wayne Brown, Center for Higher Education Chief Information Officer Studies (CHECS)) LEADERSHIP The Air Force also believes Leadership is not the private domain or responsibility of senior officers or noncommissioned officers. It is a responsibility for which every Air Force person must prepare. MENTORING SUCCESSION  A Leader's lasting value is measured by succession (John C. Maxwell)
