8 Characteristics of the Innovative Leader

8 Characteristics of the Innovative Leader | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Ultimately, an innovative leader should try to create new ideas, but it is more important that they create a culture of innovation.  We often talk about empowering people and then getting out of their way, but what is often missed in the process is removing some of those barriers that they will encounter along the way.  


This why it is so important to spend time in the classrooms, see what teaching and learning looks like, and then help to create a better tomorrow for our students and educators.  Again though, at the heart of innovation is people, not stuff.  If we always keep that at the forefront of our work, we are more likely to create an innovative culture.

PAS 555 is very clear that effective cyber security isn’t just something your ‘IT boffins can take care of’, it’s about making the right security investment by assessing the risks and addressing people and processes, as well as technology.


According to PAS 555 an effective strategy encompasses:


- People


- Behaviour


- Physical security


- Equipment security


- Governance


- Leadership


- Culture


- Technology


 

Gust MEES's insight:

 

Along with CESG’s 10 Steps to Cyber Security and CSI’s 20 Critical Controls for Cyber Security, PAS 555 forms the basis of the new Managing Cyber Security Risk course – which helps senior managers to create a cyber security risk management strategy, based on current best practice frameworks.


As well as helping you to create a strategy that’s right for your organisation – this course will also help you to tackle the difficult bit – delivering the strategy!
