Recommendation

As the digital economy continues to reshape work and business practices, leaders need to develop new approaches to guide their teams and organizations forward. But an authoritative 2019 study finds that leaders themselves are falling behind. MIT Sloan Management Review and Cognizant surveyed more than 4,000 leaders worldwide, conducted executive interviews and performed sentiment analysis – only to find that most leaders are holding their teams and organizations back by clinging to outdated leadership concepts and practices. Luckily, this report offers clear, actionable guidance to help leaders transform.

Take-Aways

  • Most leaders are failing to adapt their leadership to radical changes in the economy and workforce.
  • As some leadership behaviors fall away, others remain valuable, and new ones are becoming crucial.
  • Four mind-sets underpin leadership in the digital economy.
