Abstract

Digital leadership is a commonly used term in today’s digital age. On one hand, it is linked to the latest industrial revolution (IR 4.0) which is changing almost all aspects of our organizational lives, and on the other hand, it is about leadership, one of the most valuable skills required by organizations. Yet, despite its importance, no comprehensive and universally accepted definition for digital leadership currently exists.
In this chapter we are sharing different views about the concept of digital leadership and categorize different perspectives towards it. We learn that whilst some people interpret digital leadership as a kind of organizational position, others view it as a set of skills and competencies. Others take the view that digital leadership is merely a status of using digital technologies in products or services, business models, systems and processes. There are also those that take a more profound view, believing that digital leadership represents a shared culture and way of doing things in the digital age.
