Abstract

The rise of digitalization has necessitated a shift in the skillset required of leaders to navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape. This article presents a systematic literature review of classical and contemporary leadership approaches, identifying key competencies required for effective leadership in the digital era. Digital transformation has brought significant changes to the business environment, requiring leaders to adapt to a new set of challenges and opportunities. This has led to an increasing interest in the development of digital leadership skills and competencies. While communication, vision, and innovation have been identified as important skills for digital leaders, there is a need for a deeper understanding of the unique competencies required for success in the digital era. Moreover, the importance of creating a digitally savvy workforce and the role of training and development programs for leaders cannot be understated. This article aims to explore the current state of digital leadership, highlighting the key competencies needed for success in the digital age and the role of training and development programs in developing these competencies. Through a comprehensive review of the existing literature, this article aims to offer valuable insights and practical recommendations to business leaders and organizations seeking to succeed in the dynamic and complex digital landscape.
