Transformation of the phenomenon of leadership in the digital world
Abstract
Purpose: to conduct research into changes in the nature and practice of leadership under the influence of digital technologies. Procedure and methods: The work was carried out on the basis of a systematic approach using classification methods and comparative analysis. Results: It has been established that leadership in the digital era is no longer solely a management function in the physical office. It has become a complex skill that requires adaptation to a global, virtual and dynamic environment. The modern leader is an ecosystem architect, coach and visionary, combining digital literacy, adaptability and emotional intelligence. The characteristics of a digital leader are considered (the ability to work with distributed teams, data-oriented and agile thinking, the ability to show empathy in the digital environment, building a personal brand through openness and transparency, focus on influence and expertise rather than on job position). New leadership models (distributed leadership, service leadership, ecosystem leadership), as well as the challenges of the digital era, are analyzed. Leadership in the digital world is a synthesis of classic qualities and new competencies associated with managing in conditions of rapid change, virtual interaction and network structures. Theoretical and/or practical significance. The results of the study can be used to improve the mysterious methodological competencies of both teachers of philosophical disciplines and students.
