Digital Leadership Evidence from Theory and Practice

"Leadership, its role in organized management, and the "intelligent organization" are the subjects of a broad and deep literature. Effective leadership has been the topic of innumerable studies and books with tips and tactics. In most of these cases, the focus has been on face-to-face leadership in the workplace or other venues. The changing landscape of work, especially since the COVID pandemic, has led to a paradigm shift in the world of work, with more emphasis on the digital environment. This has led to the emergence of what had been a less studied subset of leadership: digital leadership. Salih steps into this emerging trend in Digital Leadership: Evidence from Theory and Practice. This text provides a timely review of which leadership practices from the vast, existing literature appear to be the most relevant to the digital world. This includes macro-trends in corporate leadership and macro-leadership trends and practices for teams, etc. Salih provides an important overview of the current state of digital management research and application. This subset of leadership has become more prominent, and this volume is an important guide to current research, theory, and practice." - S. A. Schulman, Emeritus, CUNY Baruch College
