Since 2019, MIT Sloan Management Review and Cognizant have explored the implications digitalization has on leadership. In the recently released 2021 study, “Leadership’s Digital Transformation: Leading Purposefully in an Era of Context Collapse,” the authors expose a component of digital transformation that’s critical but often overlooked by leaders: themselves. The report offers actionable recommendations for leaders to more effectively lead their people and organizations in a time of blurred boundaries, rapidly shifting power dynamics, and general uncertainty.
