Director, University Press of Colorado
Plug yourself in and lead by example. Most of us do not have a crystal ball in our office, and dealing with the current pace of technological change involves a constant balancing act of proceeding with caution and throwing caution to the wind. This introduces plenty of change and subsequent confusion about new systems and software. This is only exacerbated by top-down directives. As director, you must familiarize yourself with the technology or digital initiatives you are engaging with and provide leadership, selling the change and the new process or technology to the staff (instead of foisting it on IT).
