Združena celota združuje tematiko vodenja v 21. stoletju in nam oriše pravega vodjo informacijskega podjetja. Naš namen in cilj je bil najti primerne načine vodenja informacijskih podjetij, ki delujejo v praksi. Posledično želimo najti tudi karakteristike posameznih vodij informacijskih podjetij. Pridobili smo si informacije iz prve roke in uspešne voditelje tudi intervjujali. Za metodo dela smo izbrali intervju. Osebni pristop k samim vodjam uspešnih informacijskih podjetij, nam je prinesel zanimive odgovore in načine vodenja. V teoretičnem delu smo jasno opisali osnove vodenja, stile, najpogostejše karakteristike vodij, tako slabe kot dobre. V praktičnem delu, pa smo dejstva iz teorije samo še dodatno podprli ali pa prišli do svojih zaključkov. Dodana vrednost naše diplomske naloge so intervjuji. Brez njih, bi bila samo že tolikokrat slišana teorija, z njimi, pa smo dosegli svoj cilj. Ugotovili smo, da je vsak način vodenja pravi, do te mere, kot to dopušča osebnost, prepričanja, filozofija posameznega voditelja.In this diploma characteristics of successful leaders in information companies are described.
