Abstract

This chapter examines the role of strategic leadership in organizations grappling with the changing practices and expectations of the workforce in response to the technologies brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and rapidly implemented during the COVID-19 crisis. It describes the extent to which the future of work directly influences the tasks of strategic leaders (e.g., new job demands or changed allocation of responsibility). Grounded on a science mapping analysis, the main themes covering the intersection between the frameworks of strategic leadership and the future of work are highlighted. In this sense, this study presents the implications for leaders of relevant “future of work” themes such as virtual teams, digital transformation, teleworking, big data and job demands. The analysis detected that leadership competencies and communication skills are relevant underlying future research lines to be developed in the intersection between the future of work and the field of strategic leadership.
