Abstract

This book chapter claims the outcome of the digital transformation and its implications for leaders in organizations. When organizations change their strategy in accordance to the digital transformation to be not outperformed by the pioneering companies on the market, the inevitable consequence is to translate this shift thoroughly into the leadership levels. The more important it becomes for the organizations to develop initiatives and upskilling measures to contribute to and simplify innovative changes in leadership. I argue that leaders who will not invest in a digital mindset, instead strive for egoism, will cause the company’s digital transformation failure.
