Leaders Beware The Next Big, New, Shiny Thing

[tasmih1234]

Have you heard of the new phenomenon: The Digitally Deluded Leader? It’s the topic of APQC’s June Human Capital Management Webinar. This is a new topic for me and I am guessing it is also new to many APQC readers. So, I asked guest speaker Steve Hearsum of Roffey Park, an internationally renowned leadership institute based in the UK and Singapore, to participate in a brief interview. Read his thoughts on what digital means for leadership.

How is the digital age changing what is required to effectively lead within an organization?

Therein lies the question. Let’s start with whether or not this is a ‘digital age.’ The risk of framing our times as that is it assumes that it is radically different to what preceded it. We’ve asked lots of people: What does digital mean for you? And the word cloud illustrates clearly the lack of consensus around the answer and the tendency of human beings (particularly malta mobile numbers list in organizational contexts) to forever seek the next big, new, shiny thing that will change the way things are done. The danger is we look forward and into the future, missing what is happening in the here and now. And that is the biggest risk: Leaders not paying enough attention to what is happening today.

What's at stake for leaders and organizations? What are the consequences of inaction and the benefits of evolving leadership for the digital age?

I shy away from predicting the future. Much of the research out there suggests that ‘experts’ we see on TV are by and large no better at predicting the future than a toss of a coin. So what is at stake is what has always been at stake for leaders and their organizations: The failure to adapt will be risky, and in some instances terminal. I do not see that as being significantly different to what has preceded, but the pace and rate at which that can happen is different.
