Responsibility manager in the digital age[Manager en responsabilité à l'heure du digital]

This book is called "Responsibility Manager in the Digital Age". It is part of a context characterized in particular by a double shock wave that affects many companies: First, the growing questions about the shareholder model, the dominant model of corporate governance, lead to exploring the possible ways of going beyond this model. by encouraging, alongside traditional shareholding, the promotion of employee, ethical and social shareholding. Second, companies are also facing major upheavals brought about by digital technology, upheavals that are changing governance, jobs and the organization of work. The goal here is to take stock of new forms of people management in the digital age. Indeed, new ways of working remotely, more digital, more virtual are pushing towards an awareness of the human being. What is required of new digital managers is probably more than ever relational activities: the ability to anticipate and initiate change, to build networks and partnerships, to function as a team, the desire to empower more its employees and find other ways to motivate them. Digital also poses a question of trust and discernment: the manager will have to know how, to what extent and under what conditions to use the virtual and the collaborative so that it is beneficial for the company and the employee, for example, to privilege the meeting for annual interviews. Digital transformation will necessarily require the emergence of a new family of digital managers, who, to succeed, will have to demonstrate their leadership and start by becoming actors in their own transformation.
