What Does It Take To Lead Effectively In The 'Post-Digital' Workplace? - Victor Lipman, Forbes
Following are four key attributes for the "new wave" of leaders (plus some of my thoughts about them):
-- Have the ability to keep people connected and engaged (76%). "Connected" being the operative word here. As operations become more and more far-flung and decentralized, the management challenges of keeping a remote workforce motivated and engaged only increase. The best managers recognize and excel at this.
-- Be more agile and digitally savvy (77%). Flexible and "agile" are always good; as noted in the point above, leaders have no choice but to opt for agility in a remote world. ("Digitally savvy" almost goes without saying. It's what we used to call "table stakes" in the corporate world. We liked that phrase and used it often -- it made us feel more like riverboat gamblers and less like office dwellers!)
