Author:: Barry Libert, Megan Beck, Jerry Wind
Date:: February 6, 2015
Published by:: The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
Summary:: Advancement in digital technologies has disrupted everything, including leadership styles, according to Barry Libert, Jerry Wind and Megan Beck Fenley. Employees want more ownership rather than to follow instruction; customers want to participate in the marketing and development process; and leaders are finding that open and agile organizations are able to maneuver more effectively than organizations where "all insight and direction comes from the top. In short, the autocratic Commander, whether brilliant or misguided, just won’t cut it anymore," they write in this opinion piece.
