Nunno, Tina,

The wolf in CIO's clothing : a Machiavellian strategy for successful IT leadership / Tina Nunno. - First edition. - Brookline : Bibliomotion, 2015. - 232 pages ; 21 cm

Machiavellians are few in number in IT. The massive pressure on CIOs continues to increase as the opportunities to use technology in business become more prevalent and more competitive. As CIOs often find themselves at the centre of business conflict, they must not only familiarize themselves with Machiavellian tactics as a defensive weapon, but also learn to use them as an offensive weapon in extreme situations so that they can increase IT's contribution to their enterprises. As Italian political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli implied, you're either predator or prey, and the animal you most resemble determines your position on the food chain. In 'The Wolf in CIO's Clothing' Gartner analyst and author Tina Nunno expands on Machiavelli's metaphor, examining seven animal types and the leadership attributes of each.
