Information Technology is causing the transformation of administration operation and administration, and is settled as a type of participation forms that reflect the interest and idea of local residents in the administration operation. Internet, nowadays, is the most representative Information-Communication method with the development of Information Technology. Our lives are composed of relationships with many social groups and human beings We lead our lives through various social interactions And we can find the most of the human relations are com posed of the relationship of leading and being led.
Forthe all-round social life, what we need desperately is the leadership of a leader, which keeps the machine of human relationship running fast and helps us accomplish the goals of our groups or organization effectively. The reasons why hierarchial structure of organization and order-unity based structure showed their limits and became the object of reformation is that they resulted in th phenomenon of bottle neck of information flow. The revolution of information flow is now asking for a new theory of existence. This flow is now coming up with new things, like a gigantic Black Hole which have gulped everything.
And it is now requesting an individual or a company that it would evolve at the same speed and scale with the country. This flow is needed because of society. while the evolution of flow is continuing, a new leader may suddenly appear or a competent leader may stand back for good. Now the adaptation to information flow has become a necessary condition of survival.
Nowadays information flow has become a necessary condition of survival. Nowadays information flow is so rapid that the uncertainty and complexity of management are increasing. For this reasons, leaders are being asked to have high level of bottle neck of information circulation production and information circulation competency.
But we couldn't avoid facing the phenomenon of bottle neck of information flow, especially in too much subdivided hierarchical structure and horizontally, and the delay of idea settlement is easily expected. To cope with time-centered competitive situation promptly, idea settlement should be made as soon as possible.
So it can be said that the success or failure of an organization is up to a leader in the past or now Until now, we asw, in an enlarged pyramidical hierarchical structure, that no leader could cope with the information society flexibly. So changes into horizontal organizations, simple organizations, and network organizations are necessary for the achievement of a flexibility or an organization through leader's speedy information circulation in an organization and valuable co-operation about an essential tasks. In the past industrial society, whether it was a public or private organization, the ability of a good leader was judged by the quantity of information age, the ability of information of information age, the ability to create high added value has become the criterion of an evaluation of a leadership. It is because in an information age the invisible soft thing have become the sours of more decisive competitive power, and the intellectual wealth, and appeared as a subject of production and consumption One of the essential gained through study on leadership of an information of an information age is that what is should not be a dictator or a contrller, but he should be a sincere advisor of a subordinate or fellow worker, and that he should stimulate his potentials and that he should stimulate his to act to the best of his potentials and himself set fine example, ultimately, double the capacity of an organization the level of no need of administration.
The leadership of the past put great emphasis on authority and power, management method, the success or failure of an organization dose largely depend on the individuals abilities.
Successful leadership is a complex subject which can be achieved through quality, situation, official education and training, experience, and so on. This means that these factors have an great effect on the development of leadership, not separately but generelly, and the quality of a leadership can be accomplished through private experience or official education and training.
In general for the contents of leadership program, teaching materials should be properly selected, goals of training should be evaluated, too. Information age is the era in which information has the most important value. Information is a kind of materials which is usefully utilized in idea settlement through information owner's value allowance With the generalization of computer, we have got complex view of values where diversity and unity are co-existent. The most important virtue of leadership in an information age of 21st century is to have future-oriented attitude In the circumstances of various values exist and great changes are so rapid, a leader can show vision to the group members with it The importance of electronic information in an information age has resulted in new arguments that we have never experienced before.
And to cope with this situation effectively, leaders should achieve the objects of the organization through the members' self-motivation, prepare a systematic device to share the information in the organization, have their minds open to the flow of information, acquire good level of electronic computing knowledge to innovate himself to keep up with the impending knowledge-based society, and heighten the equity through the consideration of the alienated class. In other words, leaders should make constant efforts to innovate themselves and adapt to rapid changes.
