Abstract
This chapter examines the application of the Effective Innovation Leadership (EIL)-Model in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) practice. The EIL-Model was the outcome of a study grounded in the iteration of six different data sources. In this chapter, the focus lies on insights taken by applying the EIL-Model within three German DAX-companies from different industries. The study leads to a better understanding of the EIL-Model components and reveals that seven sub categories are dominantly affecting the effectiveness of innovation leaders. Those sub categories are openness, trust, delivery, association, perseverance, entrepreneurship, and focus.
