Description

NEW BOOK – COMING IN 2026!

In a world where technology evolves faster than leadership norms can catch up, Integrated IT Leadership in Practice delivers a powerful and timely exploration of what it truly means to lead in today’s digital enterprise.

Through the compelling narrative of Michael Chen, a seasoned but evolving IT executive, this book brings to life the complex realities of leading people, managing systems, and sustaining culture within high-demand technical environments. Each of the twelve chapters unfolds a critical dimension of leadership in practice: vision, accountability, focus, adaptability, innovation, coaching, succession, and beyond.

Blending storytelling with over one hundred scholarly references, Dr. Carl Ryan Tucker crafts a hybrid work that is both intellectually rigorous and pragmatically useful. Drawing on leadership theory, systems thinking, organizational psychology, and real-world IT case patterns, this book introduces the Integrated IT Leadership Framework (IITLF). It’s a practical model for strategic clarity, operational excellence, relational integrity, cognitive agility, and legacy stewardship.

This is not a textbook. It’s not a memoir. It’s a field manual written in narrative form. It’s a thought provoking, accessible guide for CIOs, team leads, enterprise architects, and anyone called to lead in complex technical systems.

If you’ve ever struggled to balance innovation with sustainability, or vision with execution, Integrated IT Leadership in Practice offers both the blueprint and the inspiration to lead with depth, purpose, and systems-level impact.
