Publisher's Synopsis
Leadership in Digital Contexts features research-informed ideas, strategies, and guiding reflection questions that will encourage readers to explore the dynamics of leadership in an increasingly globalized and mediated world.
Four central ideas provide a foundation for this text:
- Communication theory provides a productive and appropriate lens through which to explore the complexities of leadership in a digital context.
- While many factors associated with the study and practice of leadership are consistent across situations and contexts, information and communication technologies have altered the leadership landscape in notable ways.
- An understanding of leadership in a digital context requires awareness of the interactions across leaders, followers, and the broader environment in which these dynamics occur.
- The effective and ethical practice of leadership in a digital context is a topic of interest across disciplines, professions, and settings.
By engaging with the concepts and strategies introduced in this book, readers can intentionally consider and re-consider one's practices, expectations, and goals for engaging in leadership in a digital world.
