    Study Notes

    Leadership and Power

    • Power is the potential to influence others' beliefs, attitudes, and actions.
    • Six bases of power influence a leader's ability to affect others: referent, expert, legitimate, reward, coercive, and information.
    • Referent power comes from followers' admiration and liking for the leader.
    • Expert power stems from followers' perception of the leader's competence.
    • Legitimate power is linked to a leader's formal position or status.
    • Reward power is the capacity to give positive incentives.
    • Coercive power is the capacity to inflict penalties.
    • Information power comes from possessing needed or desired knowledge.
    • Coercion is using force to effect change, often through threats or punishment, and shouldn't be considered ideal leadership.
    • Leadership stresses influence toward shared goals, unlike coercion, which focuses on leader-desired outcomes.

    Leadership and Management

    • Management focuses on order, consistency, planning, organizing, staffing, and controlling.
    • Leadership focuses on inducing change and movement, establishing direction, aligning people, motivating, and inspiring.
    • Management and leadership overlap—managers influence groups to meet goals, and leaders engage in management activities.

    Modern Leadership Theories

    • Charismatic Leadership: Charisma is a leader's individual characteristics. Charismatic leaders have more influence than non-charismatic leaders. Characteristics include: follower faith in leader's convictions, similar beliefs, unquestioning acceptance, perceived excellence by followers, willingly obeyed followers, emotional connection to the company, goal-driven followers seeking advancement, and group followers contributing to success.
    • Transactional Leadership: Focuses on exchanges between leaders and followers, primarily using rewards/punishments. Attend to followers' needs.
    • Transformational Leadership: Empowers followers, fosters change, and acts as a role model to inspire change. Creates visions, builds trust and collaboration amongst people, encourages, and celebrates accomplishments.
    • Authentic Leadership: Nurtured, not a fixed trait. Develops over a lifespan, triggered by life events. Driven by positive psychological qualities and strong ethics comprised of four components: self-awareness, internalized moral perspective, balanced processing and relational transparency.
    • Servant Leadership: Ten key characteristics: listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to growth, and building community.
    • Adaptive Leadership: Follower-centered, concerned with change and adjustment, mobilizes, motivates, organizes, and focuses attention; encourages change, and new ways of living to support growth.

    Factors Affecting Digital Leadership

    • Big Data and Leadership: Uses data for decision-making instead of intuition; characteristics of big data include volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value.
    • Social Media and Leadership: Social media used for community support, message exchange, and multimedia sharing. Digital leaders need to consider appropriateness, timing, technical competence, and relationships on social media.
    • Mobile Technology and Leadership: Mobile networks enable collaboration and drive digital skills demands (business analytics, mobile connectivity, cloud technology).
    • Cloud Computing and Leadership: A model for providing computing resources. It's a new operational model combining existing technologies. Issues include resource sharing and data security.
    • Internet of Things (IoT) and Leadership: Devices collecting/transmitting data over the internet. Leaders benefit from data-based decision-making, improved employee productivity, encouraging collaboration, ensuring cybersecurity, and implementing digital transformation policies.

    The Importance of VUCA and BANI frameworks

    • VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity): Highlights need for innovation, risk management, learning, global perspective, customer-centricity, and preparedness for the unknown.
    • BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible): Alters working conditions; responsible managers focus on change, interactions, and societal impact. Focuses on adaptation, resilience, innovation, global challenges.

    Changes in Strategic Assumptions

    • Digital-age competitive strategy needs insight into platform business models, network effects, co-opetition, intermediation/disintermediation, and competitive value chains.
    • Good data strategy needs understanding of data value creation templates, big data sources and analytics, causality in data-driven decisions, data security, and privacy risks.
    • Digital-age innovation requires knowledge of convergent and divergent experiments, minimum viable prototypes, and scaling up innovation.
    • Value proposition adaptation needs understanding of market value, declining market position exits, and value proposition analysis.

    Common Skills for Digital Transformation Leaders

    • Communication through digital tools
    • High-speed decision-making
    • Managing disruptive change
    • Networking ability
    • Renaissance in technical skills

    Persuasiveness and Data-Driven Category

    • Persuasiveness: Digital leadership requires appealing to emotions digitally.
    • Data-Driven: Digital leadership requires quantitative and data-driven decisions.

    Digital Leadership Perception

    • Digital leaders need proactiveness, direction, integration, mentorship, creativity, versatility, data-driven decisions, employee motivation, balancing opportunities/threats, and agility.
    • Perceptions of digital leadership may differ based on demographics (years of experience, department, sector).

    The Journey from Technology to People Technology

    • Transitioning from a technical role to leadership is challenging. Understanding shifts required (personal to team success, finite to infinite, solutions to problems) makes transition easier.
    • Thought leadership (tech passion) vs. people leadership (control, influence) paths and their interplay as careers evolve; decision points and potential cycles of resignation.
    • Inflection point in career development and the difficulty of changing paths later.

    • Redefine personal success.
    • Embrace failure: Manage emotional reactions, accept lessons learned.
    • Balance leadership and technical skills: leadership styles, organizational size and type, passion, team success.

    Leadership Style

    • Factors (organization size, type, technical passion) influence leadership style.
    • Different leadership styles are required for different organization types (tech start-ups, technology product, non-technology organization).
    • Dictatorship spectrum (technical leader requires high technical skills, post-technical leader uses empowerment and consultation—while maintaining high technical skill, technical skills may reduce).

    Tools and Frameworks

    • Design Thinking: User-centric, business-oriented, technologically applicable problem-solving with empathy, definition, idea process, prototyping, and testing phases.
