Strong leadership is vital, both in this time of huge upheaval and as we continue to use digital technologies to move forward and forge a way in the new normal. Leaders in a digital environment have undergone fundamental changes too, however. Gone is the world of command and control: in its place is a leadership function that must be able to relinquish control; admit failings; accept limitations; ask for help; and above all accept that humanity is at the heart of their organisations and approach to technology.
Drawing on our findings from our latest thought piece ‘Humanity at the Heart of Digital Prosperity‘ we have summarised 5 of the behaviours that we have identified in successful leaders in digital prosperity.
