Leadership

Ideally, leaders should be able to act in the present, while thinking in the future. However, one of the common pitfalls of incumbent companies is the tendency to be stuck in a reactive cycle. We have all been there. Your to-do-list is packed, your calendar has barely time for lunch, and the triple-digit number of unread emails is constantly acting as an indicator of falling behind. Chances are that most of you would stop reading by now to move on to the next task at hand.

Flying solo is a bad idea when facing change. Whether the task is accelerating growth, digital transformation or a turnaround case, a team effort is required to create sustainable change. Knowing who you need by your side and how to make your team act like one singular unit is crucial for success.

With a plethora of Gutenberg moments all at once, no industries are safe from digital disruption. This is not limited to only centuries-old incumbents but also born-digital companies need digital transformation to stay relevant. In order to successfully navigate in an ever-changing landscape, leadership is the key ingredient for success.
