Leadership In Disruptive Times cover

This book provides insights into an understanding of disruptive leadership. It explores the key success factors for digital transformation of organizations in the highly disruptive, increasingly VUCA-driven era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Disruption is happening everywhere and in every aspect of our lives. It is happening at a scale and speed that is unprecedented in modern history, impacting diverse industries, from financial services to retail, media, logistics and supply chain, manufacturing, education, professional services, and life sciences. Leaders are finding it challenging to navigate the near-insurmountable challenges resulting from the impact of these disruptive events on their organizations.

The right leadership is critical for organizations to thrive in a disruptive business environment. How should we define leadership in such an environment? Are the current leadership practices and competencies still relevant in the face of such disruption? What are the attributes of a "disruptive digital leader"? How can leaders set themselves up not only to survive but also to thrive in navigating the challenges of disruptive events and crises?

This book provides insights into an understanding of disruptive leadership. It explores the key success factors for digital transformation of organizations in the highly disruptive, increasingly VUCA-driven era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (also known as Industry 4.0). The book also examines the fundamental qualities of disruptive leadership that would distinguish successful leaders as they guide their organizations through the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the digital transformation at the workplace.

Leadership in Disruptive Times could not have come at a more appropriate time on the planet. COVID-19 has added an extra dimension to the VUCA acronym: Risky. The planet is faced with other challenges such as climate change, racism, digital transformation, to mention a few. These driving forces of change will require organizations to be led by transformational leaders that would develop agile organizations. The book brilliantly explores the distinctive competencies, skills, methods, and techniques that leaders must develop for a post-pandemic business environment that will equip them to lead their organizations in uncharted waters. I strongly recommend this book to leaders, policymakers, and academics that wish to pursue multidisciplinary research and future-oriented teaching.Leaders in organizations are continually confronted with increased competition, globalization, demand for social responsibilities, and a stream of technological advances that disrupt the marketplace. For those looking to navigate the turbulent and complex landscape of the digital evolution, Leadership in Disruptive Times is the perfect blueprint for future-proofing their organization. Prof. Bawany provides insights into the role of 'disruptive digital leaders' that transform the organization into a more agile, innovative, and adaptive workplace in times of disruption and successfully lead the digital transformation efforts. A must-read.
