Studies say that about 42% of top organizations invest their valuable amount of time in developing their future leaders. In this fast-moving world of digitization, it is a major challenge to develop creative and innovative leaders to digitally transform. That’s why, these successful organizations are moving towards digital leadership. By this way, they foster young leaders as well as build the future leadership tree of an organization.

Digital leadership plays a major part in any business as executives in each industry use digital technology in their day to day work life. At present, the digital world has around six million mobile users and one billion Facebook users. Moreover, the changing lifestyle also brings changes in the workforce environment. Therefore, organizational gaps form between the Millenials and the older generation, which needs to be filled by enforcing digital leadership.

What does Digital Leadership achieve?

• Develop digital skills across the entire organization instead of just one department. Ultimately, it closes the digital gaps between the departments. This means not only the IT department but it also enforces the digital skills to the other departments.
• Encourage employers and employees to embed digital technology.
• Promote the agile way of working to satisfy all workforce generations.
• Educate the team on digital transformation growth and encourage them with tangible proof of concepts.
• Integrate digital process and technologies instead of digital strategy to shape business and artistic strategies.
• Transform people and the way they work by keeping track of what they do and how they do, in response to feedback.

Every organization uses technologies like analytics, social media, mobile, and embedded devices to modify their business models. This ultimately increases their employee retainment and customer engagement. But, only a few of them were able to get the real business benefits.
