Leadership 4.0

Leadership 4.0

New principles create room for growth

Digitization has fundamentally changed the demands on leadership: authoritarian bosses, hierarchical thinking, control as a management style – all that is yesterday’s leadership. Leadership 4.0 involves a modern concept of personnel management and responsibility. The main task is to get people to work better together and make good decisions together so that the company achieves the future. Such modern leaders act interactively and dialogically, asking rather than telling, at eye level rather than via authority.

Leadership 4.0: flexibility and error culture

Managers who embrace the principles of Leadership 4.0 hand over responsibility to their teams and grant freedom, but without relinquishing their leadership role. They lead with targets, not with pressure and control. Leaders are role models and central ambassadors of the organizational culture internally. The actions of leaders significantly shape the climate and working style of an organization.

Corona makes Leadership 4.0 more critical than ever. Managers who want to meet the demands of modern leadership must be aware of the new framework conditions. Suppose you want to cope with the permanently changing, increasingly digital requirements. In that case, you have to start with your own personality, question your leadership behavior, adapt your skills, or even learn new skills. Leadership 4.0 requires a team-oriented, interdisciplinary, and collaborative corporate culture.

More explicit communication, much more trust, and less control in the previous sense are required. Flexibility and functionality are a matter of course. Error tolerance instead of detailed planning for the future is essential, openness to change and creativity creates the space for personnel and structural growth.
