問題詳情

第二篇:The digital age has democratized the workplace. Now employees can wield just as much knowledge and voice as theirmanagers. It’s a profound change that is forcing an evolution in leadership. If you look at what technology has done in the lastfive to six years with the way we live at home and at work, there are two major things. One, ordinary people today are muchmore empowered than ever before because everybody has a super-computer in their pocket. Everyone can join any debate andsay whatever. Ordinary people are really empowered. Leaders, on the other hand, are totally exposed to the extent of beingnaked.The second thing is that the 21st century is facing both amazing opportunities as well as daunting challenges related tobasic things like food, water, jobs, and environment. When it comes to leadership in the 21st century in the open-source era,just showing up to work and telling people what to do is not enough. Just creating shareholder return is not enough.Leadership today has to be about a burning desire to create a better future and to not give up in the resistance that you’re goingto face when you decide to do something different.If you look at any literature on leadership, chances are you will find that when it talks about leadership style, most booksidealize the democratic, all-inclusive style of leadership. On the other hand, you have people like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, ElonMusk, and if you go east, the former prime minister of Singapore. These people were all autocrats, and they’re the ones whorocked the history of the planet in recent years. So the question is, which one of them is true? In a study involving over 16,000people in 28 countries, without exception, all 28 countries in the global study overwhelmingly agreed that to createbreakthrough innovation and success in today’s high-speed world, you need autocratic leadership. That was the mostsurprising part of the research. But there was absolutely no difference by country across the world in terms of people’sagreement on which of the two was needed.
