In this paper it is argued that existing and emergent technologies provide leadership opportunities for information systems (IS) professionals that allow them to expand their roles from technical managers to strategic leaders. Four particular leadership roles are proposed which IS professionals are positioned to occupy and specific technologies supporting these leadership roles including group decision support systems, executive informations systems, and strategic information systems are discussed. A conceptual model, the leadership-technology cube, is presented which links leadership skills and leadership roles to information technologies which jointly affect leadership outcomes. In order for IS professionals to assume the leadership roles proposed here, they must develop new competencies beyond technical expertise, especially interpersonal and conceptual skills and rethink the IS career concept.
