Paul Leinwand and Matt Mani: Rethinking leadership beyond digital
Summary:
“Digital transformation” is a big buzzword in business. But digital initiatives alone are not enough to win in the marketplace -- companies need to reimagine the compelling value they will offer and how they will create it in a differentiating way. Two senior partners from Strategy&, former colleagues and friends, set out seven leadership imperatives for
transforming companies in the new digital era based on extensive research of twelve companies, including Philips, Microsoft and Adobe:
- Reimagine your company's place in the world
- Embrace and create value via ecosystems
- Build a system of privileged insights with your customers
- Make your organization outcome-oriented
- Invert the focus of your leadership team
- Reinvent the social contract with your people
- Disrupt your own leadership approach
This is a stimulating, immersive discussion leaving you with a new manifesto for leading your organisation. They even say which one of the leadership archetypes they are! I always try to get to the personal side too, as you know!
