Digital Leader And Digital Leadership For Digital Transformation

Abstract

Critical importance of contributions of a leader for attaining success in any teamwork at any walk of life need not be emphasised. Qualities, traits, nuances, features, styles. etc. of a leader and leadership also impact performance of any group. Digital transformation, being a teamwork, is no exception to these. Earlier a leader and team members had to depend on own capabilities, power of mind, creative thinking and cerebral judgement for data analyses, interpretations, inferences, and crafting strategies. In contemporary digital era technologies help in these. Duties and responsibilities of a business leader are also evolving with evolution of digital technologies. Effective change management has by itself become a changing phenomenon and a critical success factor. Right to make mistakes and abiding by digital ethics have assumed primacy for meeting success with innovation. This article deals with all these newer dimensions of digital leadership and the tasks and deliverables of a distinctly identified digital leader.
