Series: Management on the Cutting Edge

The definitive book on leadership in the digital era- why digital technologies call for leadership that emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity.

Certain ideas about business leadership are held to be timeless, and certain characteristics of leaders-often including a square jaw, a deep voice, and extroversion-are said to be universal. In Leading in the Digital World, Amit Mukherjee argues that sincedigital technologies are changing everything else, how could they not change leadership ideologies and styles? As more people worldwide participate equally in business, those assumptions of a leader's ideal profile have become irrelevant. Offering a radical rethinking of leadership, Mukherjee shows why digital technologies call for a new kind of leader-one who emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity. Drawing on a global survey of 700 mid-tier to senior executives and interviews with C-level executives from around the world, Mukherjee explains how digital technologies are already reshaping organizations and work and what this means for leaders. For example, globally dispersed businesses can't reserve key leadership roles for people from exclusive groups; leadership must become inclusive, or fail. Leaders must learn to collaborate in a multipolar world of networked organizations, working with co-located and non-co-located colleagues. Leaders must lead for creativity rather than productivity. Focusing on practice, Mukherjee outlines goals and strategies, warns against unthinking assumptions, and explains how leaders can identify the mindsets, behaviors, and actions they need to pursue. With Leading in the Digital World, Mukherjee offers the definitive book on leadership for the digital era.

Reviews for Leading in the Digital World: How to Foster Creativity, Collaboration, and Inclusivity

A canny manual...Among the welter of books claiming to direct leaders in the digital age, Mukherjee's swiftly executed, neatly encapsulated view of digital changes' impact on business is specifically focused enough to deliver value; it doesn't provide answers to all the questions, but it does lay out solid starting points for framing them. -Publishers Weekly
