Abstract—This article is about a program aimed at fostering an agile
mindset in young corporate leaders (under 40 years old) working in the energy
sector, who are expected to be effective leaders in an ever more digitalized
world; the program has been co-designed with Eni Corporate University (Milan
and Rome, Italy) on behalf of the World Economic Forum (Davos and Geneva,
Switzerland). Digital transformation is not only about technology. It is also
mainly enabled by leadership that is grounded in 3 pillars: teamwork, start-up
culture, and matrix management. Hot topics and key activities include: a
business game for launching a new cryptocurrency; scenario analysis and
immersive simulation within a mixed reality environment (e-REAL); online
keynotes by seasoned faculty from Harvard, MIT and Stanford with moderated
Q&A sessions to facilitate an interactive dialogue; a collaborative platform to
enhance online learning and bridge between modules.
Keywords—Leadership Development, Agile Mindset, Digital Revolution
1 The Vision Behind the Program, Its Architecture and Main
Pillars
“Leadership 5.0: An Agile Mindset for a Digital Future” is a program co-designed
with the corporate university of Eni (Milan and Rome, Italy) on behalf of the World
Economic Forum (Davos and Geneva, Switzerland) and in collaboration with select
corporations in the energy sector. The kick-off is imminent.
Leadership 5.0 is intended to be a one-of-a-kind program aimed at young leaders
from the participating companies, and designed to provide a transformative
experience based on tailored activities.

Final Written Art Project (500 words) carefully and creatively written words and sentences. Artist Statement (250 words)
WRITTEN ART PROJECT
Create a disjunctive or non-narrative piece
that engages all three aspects of reality that we have been discussing throughout the quarter: 1) larger political, social, and economic realities 2) personal or human dramatic situation and 3) detritus of existence. Make sure each of these are well represented and that they do not merely serve as a backdrop or props for other parts of your piece. In other words, make sure each of these aspects of reality is given its due as determining of your or others reality.
Possible Strategies and Advice:
Switch between first and third person perspectives. Make use of actual seeings—what you see. Describe and only occasionally explain or meditate. Meditate a great deal but be sure you are specific . Enact and don’t preach.
Create a concept (a title for your piece) that gives the reader a sense of the intent of your work.
This concept should serve to suggest complementary or conflictual relations between the different parts of your piece. Ultimately in placing all your parts together, in proximity to one another, you want the “whole” to be greater than the sum of the parts.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Please describe the intent of your piece and how you think its disjunctive form allows you to create a sense of reality that you wish to create. Please consider key words and concepts from the module syllabus as well as the ideas that have emerged from course discussions and thought challenges. You might also find these artist’s statements of use:

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there.

Sometimes I realize that if writing isn’t, all things, all contraries confounded, a quest for vanity and void, it’s nothing. (

Situation:
Tim Smith the IT manager comes to you and says "My project coordinators are in a slump; they just are not producing their usual caliber of work. I need to find out what the problem is. No one on the project team knows what is going on. The communcation my project coordinators are giving is coming across as rude, which in turn keeps moral low and the teams are not doing the work. I was hoping you would be able to put together an Effective Communication training for them to help get everyone back on the right track." There are 10 project coordinators in the IT department. Two of the project coordinator's are in the organization's Bangkok office. Tim wants the training to last no longer than 4 hours and wants it to be face to face in a class room with you, the trainer. He does not want to fly the Bangkok assoicates in and would like you to set up a Skype session with them during your training. He also wants you to set up weekly coaching sessions with each project manager and himself for a month after the training is completed.

You are to use this information, but are not limited to it. Tim wants to make sure this information is covered in the training as he went online and bought it from USA Training, however he is open to what research you find. He wants the training to be interactive and requested that you included at least 1 activity around communication in the training.
Effective Communcation:
Introduction
People in organizations typically spend over 75% of their time in an interpersonal situation; thus it is no surprise to find that at the root of a large number of organizational problems is poor communications. Effective communication is an essential component of organizational success whether it is at the interpersonal, inter-group, intra-group, organizational, or external levels.
In this chapter we will cover the basic process of communication and then we will cover some of the most difficult communication issues managers’ face-providing constructive and effective feedback and performance appraisal.
The Communication Process
Although all of us have been communicating with others since our infancy, the process of transmitting information from an individual (or group) to another is a very complex process with many sources of potential error.
In any communication at least some of the "meaning" lost in simple transmission of a message from the sender to the receiver. In many situations a lot of the .

Final Project Outline
For this assignment, you will be creating an outline of your final project. The focus of this outline to is to present as clear a picture as possible of your Community Center Proposal so that you may receive feedback which will guide you as you create your final project in Week 5. Please refer to the Final Project guidelines for more information on the Final Project as you prepare the outline of your proposal.
In the Final Project Outline, you will be creating a script in which you identify and describe at least 2 weekly activities for each age group that address their physical, cognitive and psychosocial developmental needs. All three domains of development must be addressed within your activities. For example, you may have one activity which enhances cognitive and psychosocial development and a second activity which enhances physical development. In addition to identifying these activities, you will demonstrate a foundational knowledge of children's developmental continuum by explaining your reasoning for choosing each activity in each age group, based on your analysis of theory and current child development research.
Additionally, you will go “shopping” for at least 1 age-appropriate game, toy, picture, or other “play” item for the activities in each age group. Keep in mind that this may include things like art, music, technology, or safety tools as you deem fit. For each item that you propose, you will provide a link to a website from which the item can be purchased by the city, as well as an explanation for why the city should purchase the item, informed by research and theory.
You will utilize the
PSY104 Written Proposal template
to create your Final Project outline. Enter the requested information on the title page where indicated. Where you find the text “This is where you will…” within the proposal, please remove that and enter your own content. The headings in bold and the outline formatting with numbers and letters should not be altered.
In your Written Proposal, you must include the following:
Please complete each section of the template including the information requested.
Within section “iv” for each room, you will be asked to justify your activities and items by analyzing interactions of the major themes: Health and Well-Being, Family and Parenting, Education, Culture and Gender as factors influencing the developmental physical, cognitive and psychosocial pathways. Your written proposal must address how you have accounted for each of these themes in its associated room as they relate to physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development. Each theme must be included in at least one room, and each room must address one or more themes. (Please see
these samples
for ways to explain how you have accounted for this.)

Final Project Analysis of an Offender (15 pagesAs a criminal j.docxMalikPinckney86
Final Project
Analysis of an Offender (15 pages
As a criminal justice professional, you will likely deal with offenders on a daily basis. Understanding the causes of criminal behavior is essential to learning how to handle offenders, how offenders are most effectively rehabilitated, and how to protect society from criminals. All too often, however, theoretical explanations for criminal behavior are never applied to criminal behavior in real-life situations. The Final Project in this class is designed for you to apply what you have learned about in this class about the causes of criminal behavior to a real-life criminal.
You are responsible for selecting one specific criminal. You must be able to research and track down detailed information about this specific criminal. Be sure that there is enough information surrounding his or her:
Upbringing
Behavior over the course of a lifetime
Social relationships
Specific details pertaining to criminal offending patterns
Once you locate an offender who you wish to research, you will need to create an analysis of the offender that takes into consideration the following:
Detailed Overview (2–3 pages)
Provide a detailed overview of the offender, and his or her life and crimes.
Discuss the nature of the offender’s crimes.
Explain how his or her criminal offending is consistent or inconsistent with what is known about the nature of criminal behavior.
Causes of Crime (8–10 pages)
This section of the paper is the most important and should contain a sufficient amount of detail pertaining to all of the potential causes of crime based on what is known about the offender.
Discuss the potential social and environmental causes of the offender’s behavior.
Discuss the potential psychological causes of the offender’s behavior.
Discuss the potential biological and genetic causes of the offender’s behavior.
Type of Offender (2–3 pages)
Identify the type of offender.
Based on the type of offender that you are researching, explain some of the unique issues presented by this type of offender.
Discuss the obstacles to rehabilitation for this specific type of offender.
Apprehension (2–3 pages)
Discuss whether criminal profiling could have been used to apprehend this criminal sooner.
Explain how the details of this specific offender could be used in the apprehension of future criminals.
Policy Implications (1–2 pages)
Briefly discuss some of the policy implications that might flow directly from what is now known about this offender.
Discuss how policy could be revamped in terms of prevention and rehabilitation.

Final Written Art Project (500 words) carefully and creatively written words and sentences. Artist Statement (250 words)
WRITTEN ART PROJECT
Create a disjunctive or non-narrative piece
that engages all three aspects of reality that we have been discussing throughout the quarter: 1) larger political, social, and economic realities 2) personal or human dramatic situation and 3) detritus of existence. Make sure each of these are well represented and that they do not merely serve as a backdrop or props for other parts of your piece. In other words, make sure each of these aspects of reality is given its due as determining of your or others reality.
Possible Strategies and Advice:
Switch between first and third person perspectives. Make use of actual seeings—what you see. Describe and only occasionally explain or meditate. Meditate a great deal but be sure you are specific . Enact and don’t preach.
Create a concept (a title for your piece) that gives the reader a sense of the intent of your work.
This concept should serve to suggest complementary or conflictual relations between the different parts of your piece. Ultimately in placing all your parts together, in proximity to one another, you want the “whole” to be greater than the sum of the parts.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Please describe the intent of your piece and how you think its disjunctive form allows you to create a sense of reality that you wish to create. Please consider key words and concepts from the module syllabus as well as the ideas that have emerged from course discussions and thought challenges. You might also find these artist’s statements of use:
Chekov
Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there.

Tim Smith the IT manager comes to you and says "My project coordinators are in a slump; they just are not producing their usual caliber of work. I need to find out what the problem is. No one on the project team knows what is going on. The communcation my project coordinators are giving is coming across as rude, which in turn keeps moral low and the teams are not doing the work. I was hoping you would be able to put together an Effective Communication training for them to help get everyone back on the right track." There are 10 project coordinators in the IT department. Two of the project coordinator's are in the organization's Bangkok office. Tim wants the training to last no longer than 4 hours and wants it to be face to face in a class room with you, the trainer. He does not want to fly the Bangkok assoicates in and would like you to set up a Skype session with them during your training. He also wants you to set up weekly coaching sessions with each project manager and himself for a month after the training is completed.

You are to use this information, but are not limited to it. Tim wants to make sure this information is covered in the training as he went online and bought it from USA Training, however he is open to what research you find. He wants the training to be interactive and requested that you included at least 1 activity around communication in the training.
Effective Communcation:
Introduction
People in organizations typically spend over 75% of their time in an interpersonal situation; thus it is no surprise to find that at the root of a large number of organizational problems is poor communications. Effective communication is an essential component of organizational success whether it is at the interpersonal, inter-group, intra-group, organizational, or external levels.
In this chapter we will cover the basic process of communication and then we will cover some of the most difficult communication issues managers’ face-providing constructive and effective feedback and performance appraisal.
The Communication Process
Although all of us have been communicating with others since our infancy, the process of transmitting information from an individual (or group) to another is a very complex process with many sources of potential error.
In any communication at least some of the "meaning" lost in simple transmission of a message from the sender to the receiver. In many situations a lot of the .

Final Project Outline
For this assignment, you will be creating an outline of your final project. The focus of this outline to is to present as clear a picture as possible of your Community Center Proposal so that you may receive feedback which will guide you as you create your final project in Week 5. Please refer to the Final Project guidelines for more information on the Final Project as you prepare the outline of your proposal.
In the Final Project Outline, you will be creating a script in which you identify and describe at least 2 weekly activities for each age group that address their physical, cognitive and psychosocial developmental needs. All three domains of development must be addressed within your activities. For example, you may have one activity which enhances cognitive and psychosocial development and a second activity which enhances physical development. In addition to identifying these activities, you will demonstrate a foundational knowledge of children's developmental continuum by explaining your reasoning for choosing each activity in each age group, based on your analysis of theory and current child development research.
Additionally, you will go “shopping” for at least 1 age-appropriate game, toy, picture, or other “play” item for the activities in each age group. Keep in mind that this may include things like art, music, technology, or safety tools as you deem fit. For each item that you propose, you will provide a link to a website from which the item can be purchased by the city, as well as an explanation for why the city should purchase the item, informed by research and theory.
You will utilize the
PSY104 Written Proposal template
to create your Final Project outline. Enter the requested information on the title page where indicated. Where you find the text “This is where you will…” within the proposal, please remove that and enter your own content. The headings in bold and the outline formatting with numbers and letters should not be altered.
In your Written Proposal, you must include the following:
Please complete each section of the template including the information requested.
Within section “iv” for each room, you will be asked to justify your activities and items by analyzing interactions of the major themes: Health and Well-Being, Family and Parenting, Education, Culture and Gender as factors influencing the developmental physical, cognitive and psychosocial pathways. Your written proposal must address how you have accounted for each of these themes in its associated room as they relate to physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development. Each theme must be included in at least one room, and each room must address one or more themes. (Please see
these samples
for ways to explain how you have accounted for this.)

Final Project Analysis of an Offender (15 pagesAs a criminal j.docxMalikPinckney86
Final Project
Analysis of an Offender (15 pages
As a criminal justice professional, you will likely deal with offenders on a daily basis. Understanding the causes of criminal behavior is essential to learning how to handle offenders, how offenders are most effectively rehabilitated, and how to protect society from criminals. All too often, however, theoretical explanations for criminal behavior are never applied to criminal behavior in real-life situations. The Final Project in this class is designed for you to apply what you have learned about in this class about the causes of criminal behavior to a real-life criminal.
You are responsible for selecting one specific criminal. You must be able to research and track down detailed information about this specific criminal. Be sure that there is enough information surrounding his or her:
Upbringing
Behavior over the course of a lifetime
Social relationships
Specific details pertaining to criminal offending patterns
Once you locate an offender who you wish to research, you will need to create an analysis of the offender that takes into consideration the following:
Detailed Overview (2–3 pages)
Provide a detailed overview of the offender, and his or her life and crimes.
Discuss the nature of the offender’s crimes.
Explain how his or her criminal offending is consistent or inconsistent with what is known about the nature of criminal behavior.
Causes of Crime (8–10 pages)
This section of the paper is the most important and should contain a sufficient amount of detail pertaining to all of the potential causes of crime based on what is known about the offender.
Discuss the potential social and environmental causes of the offender’s behavior.
Discuss the potential psychological causes of the offender’s behavior.
Discuss the potential biological and genetic causes of the offender’s behavior.
Type of Offender (2–3 pages)
Identify the type of offender.
Based on the type of offender that you are researching, explain some of the unique issues presented by this type of offender.
Discuss the obstacles to rehabilitation for this specific type of offender.
Apprehension (2–3 pages)
Discuss whether criminal profiling could have been used to apprehend this criminal sooner.
Explain how the details of this specific offender could be used in the apprehension of future criminals.
Policy Implications (1–2 pages)
Briefly discuss some of the policy implications that might flow directly from what is now known about this offender.
Discuss how policy could be revamped in terms of prevention and rehabilitation.

Abstract—This article is about a program aimed at fostering an
agile
mindset in young corporate leaders (under 40 years old)
working in the energy
sector, who are expected to be effective leaders in an ever more
digitalized
world; the program has been co-designed with Eni Corporate
University (Milan
and Rome, Italy) on behalf of the World Economic Forum
(Davos and Geneva,
Switzerland). Digital transformation is not only about
technology. It is also
mainly enabled by leadership that is grounded in 3 pillars:
teamwork, start-up
culture, and matrix management. Hot topics and key activities
include: a
business game for launching a new cryptocurrency; scenario
analysis and
2. immersive simulation within a mixed reality environment (e-
REAL); online
keynotes by seasoned faculty from Harvard, MIT and Stanford
with moderated
Q&A sessions to facilitate an interactive dialogue; a
collaborative platform to
enhance online learning and bridge between modules.
Keywords—Leadership Development, Agile Mindset, Digital
Revolution
1 The Vision Behind the Program, Its Architecture and Main
Pillars
“Leadership 5.0: An Agile Mindset for a Digital Future” is a
program co-designed
with the corporate university of Eni (Milan and Rome, Italy) on
behalf of the World
Economic Forum (Davos and Geneva, Switzerland) and in
collaboration with select
corporations in the energy sector. The kick-off is imminent.
Leadership 5.0 is intended to be a one-of-a-kind program aimed
at young leaders
from the participating companies, and designed to provide a
transformative
experience based on tailored activities.
Young leaders are intended to be persons with managerial
responsibilities, both in
core business units and staff functions. They are:
─ High potential leaders aged 40 or under.
─ Currently in a managerial role – i.e., they have direct
supervisory responsibility.
─ Located in the core business area or a staff/suppor t function.
3. iJAC ‒ Vol. 13, No. 2, 2020 57
ICELW Paper—Leadership 5.0: An Agile Mindset for a Digital
Future
─ Qualified by a strong performance record – likely to be in the
top 15% of their peer
group.
─ Strong potential to progress into a larger and/or more
complex role within the next
three years.
─ Fluent in English, likely to be degree-level educated.
Figure 1 features the program’s overall architecture. Figure 2
summarizes the key
topics and pillars around which the program was designed.
Fig. 1. Program’s architecture
Fig. 2. Program’s key topics and pillars
In particular, the key topics are: industry 4.0; agile management
models for
organizing work, as well as motivating and engaging coworkers;
analytics and big
data for decision making. These are key topics because,
according to the vision that
leads the instructional design process, digital transformation is
not only about
4. 58 http://www.i-jac.org
ICELW Paper—Leadership 5.0: An Agile Mindset for a Digital
Future
technology but also largely about a specific mindset. If people
lack the right mindset
to change, and the current organizational practices are flawed,
then digital
transformation will simply magnify those flaws [2].
Industry 4.0 is the technology revolution that is changing the
way we live, work
and relate to one another. Billions of people are connected by
mobile devices, with
unprecedented processing power, storage capabilities and access
to knowledge.
Ubiquitous super-computing, intelligent robots and “cobots” are
enabling a new era of
human-machine cooperation, self-driving cars, neuro-
technological brain
enhancements, genetic editing, the confluence of artificial
intelligence, robotics and
the Internet of (every-)things with quantum computing and a
new 5.0 world. The
evidence of dramatic change is all around us and it’s happening
at exponential speed.
(Figure 3)[3][4].
Fig. 3. Industry 4.0 in a nutshell
Digital transformation is not just about technology, but also a
5. digital mindset.
According to the program’s vision, a digital mindset is mainly
enabled by leadership
that is grounded in 3 pillars: Teamwork, Start-up culture,
Matrix management.
a) Teamwork is more and more diverse, dispersed, digital, and
dynamic—with
frequent changes in membership and contributors with multiple
affiliations, from
within the corporation or from different companies of the same
group or,
moreover, from the “outside” world as providers, partners,
external experts [5].
iJAC ‒ Vol. 13, No. 2, 2020 59
ICELW Paper—Leadership 5.0: An Agile Mindset for a Digital
Future
The diverse tools, data repositories and workflows across
disparate functions
exacerbate enterprise disorganization, resulting in a work
ecosystem that is largely
analog and siloed. Young leaders are expected to rethink how
teams work together
across their corporations and apply a modern approach to work
with new systems and
models, enabled by innovative digital tools.
b) Growing a start-up culture within a corporation is very
challenging, but well worth
the effort: it inspires people to contribute their talent and
enthusiasm, and fosters a
6. sense of deep connection and mutual purpose. As long as this
spirit persists,
engagement is high and organizational dynamics remain agile
and innovative,
spurring growth [6].
The process of digital transformation is inherently uncertain:
changes need to be
made provisionally and then adjusted; decisions need to be
made quickly; and groups
from all over the organization need to get involved. As a result,
traditional hierarchies
get in the way. It’s best to adopt a flat organizational structure
that is kept somewhat
separate from the rest of the organization. Silicon Valley start-
ups are known for their
agile decision making, rapid prototyping and flat structures.
Ideally, they have to
merge with a matrix management frame of mind.
c) Matrix management is perhaps the main issue today. Top-
level executives in many
of today’s leading corporations are losing control of their
companies. The problem
is that their companies are organizationally incapable of
carrying out the
sophisticated strategies they have developed. Over the past 30
years, strategic
thinking has far outdistanced organizational capabilities. The
matrix has proven to
be all but unmanageable, especially in the international context
that is VUCA
(Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous). Dual reporting
has led to conflict
and confusion; the proliferation of channels has created
informational logjams as
7. proliferation of committees and reports bogged down the
organization; and
overlapping responsibilities produced turf battles and a loss of
accountability.
Separated by barriers of distance, language, time, and culture,
managers found it
virtually impossible to clarify the confusion and resolve the
conflicts.
Paradoxically, as strategies and organizations become more
complex and
sophisticated, top-level general managers are beginning to
replace their historical
concentration on the grand issues of strategy and structure w ith
a focus on the
details of managing people and processes. This critical strategic
requirement is not
focused on devising the most ingenious and well-coordinated
plan, but instead on
building the most viable and flexible strategic process; the key
organizational task
is not to design the most elegant structure, but to capture
individual capabilities
and motivate the entire organization to respond cooperatively to
a complicated and
dynamic environment [7].
Vertical silos of functions, geographies and business units are
very strong and
difficult to bypass. However, it is networks, communities, teams
and groups, and how
they work together in the matrix, that are far more important.
Matrix organizations
60 http://www.i-jac.org
8. ICELW Paper—Leadership 5.0: An Agile Mindset for a Digital
Future
will increasingly rely on the way people work together to give
them the flexibility
they need to respond quickly to change and innovation
challenges.
2 The Vision
The main activities to be included in the program are the
following:
1. A business game which facilitates a direct understanding of
the key aspects related
to the digital revolution: cloud computing and virtualized
servers, Blockchain,
Bitcoin and Ethereum, Etherscan, MetaMask, Smart Contracts,
etc., to launch a
new cryptocurrency, while cooperating with a team and
competing with other
teams.
2. Immersive simulations on decision making within a portable
e-REAL® escape
room. e-REAL is an immersive simulation of enhanced reality.
It uses projectors
and touch-tracking cameras to turn blank walls and empty
spaces into immersive
and interactive environments. e-REAL is a system where
physical and digital
objects co-exist and interact in real time (mixed or hybrid
reality), in a real place
and not within a virtual or augmented reality headset. It helps
create interactive
9. virtual and augmented reality environments for use in business,
industry and
education. The e-REAL immersive setting is fully interactive
with 3-D holographic
visualization, talking avatars, electronically writable surfaces
and much more
(Figure 4)[8][9].
Fig. 4. Portable e-REAL® pop-up custom designed for Eni
Corporate University and the
World Economic Forum
This virtualized escape room within the e-REAL setting has
been designed to
foster collaborative analysis, knowledge sharing, effective
teamwork, and dynamic
decision making. Cognitive biases, fixation errors and other
obstacles to overcome are
assured… and evitable!

3. Interactive scenario analysis—within the same e-REAL
portable pop-up—to learn
from other industries that have been through digital
transformation (Figures 5, 6,
7).

5. A collaborative platform to enhance online learning that is
very easy to use:
whether on desktop or mobile, morning or night, learners can
easily access training
on their schedule - no matter the device, operating system, or
connection stability.
11. The platform allows for training people, measuring results,
driving growth, and
bridging different modules (blended learning) (Figure 7).
Fig. 9. Ubiquitous online learning
3 Leadership 5.0
Leaders are confronted by a constantly changing, complex, and
challenging
business environment. To lead effectively in today’s world, they
need to upgrade their
understanding and practice of leadership in order to meet the
new challenges that
confront them from every direction at dizzying speeds.
Leadership 5.0 integrates four integral principles: mastering
context; aligning
competencies; constructing character; creating connection.
Mastering context: contextual elements include environmental
factors (industry,
legal and regulatory constraints, and public expectations),
internal organizational
drivers (business targets/metrics, prevailing culture and values,
norms and practices,
and working paradigms and mental models), and individual
factors (personal
knowledge and skills, as well as worldviews, assumptions, and
perceptions). All
factors affect and are affected by the entire team, organization,
and external
stakeholders.
Aligning competencies focuses on conceptual, technical,
12. interpersonal and
relational competencies. Conceptual competencies refer to the
ability to devise
constructs, paradigms, and mental models. The stronger the
alignment between
models and experience, the more effective leaders are.
Technical competencies relate
to the level of personal knowledge, skill, and experience leaders
have within a given
64 http://www.i-jac.org
ICELW Paper—Leadership 5.0: An Agile Mindset for a Digital
Future
field. Interpersonal and relational competencies involve the
skills of observation,
listening and communication as they relate to interacting and
working with others in a
mutually productive manner.
Constructing character focuses on a commitment to continuing
evolution as a
person, to growth in the ability to think, feel and act out of a
grounded, centered self.
Creating connection relates to discovering, displaying, and
conveying the passion
leaders bring to their mission and people.
5.0 leadership in a 4.0 industrial and digital society is a key
perspective in
understanding our business world [10], as well as 5.0 society,
which is a very
13. interesting trend mainly discussed in Japan [11]. With our
program, Eni Corporate
University and the World Economic Forum are pioneering a
crucial area of
development and launching a very innovative learning program.

How Digital
Leadership Is(n’t)
Different
Leaders must blend traditional and new skills to
effectively guide their organizations into the future.
BY GERALD C. KANE, ANH NGUYEN PHILLIPS,
JONATHAN COPULSKY, AND GARTH ANDRUS
W
hen describing the new digital reality for organizations,
people tend to fall into two camps. Some argue that the
future will be more like the past than not, agreeing with
18. the sentiment, “Those who cannot remember the past are
condemned to repeat it.”1 Others think the future will be
more novel, believing, “No one can possibly know what is
about to happen: It is happening, each time, for the first
time, for the only time.”2
Either way you look at it, as organizations seek their
footing in a turbulent business environment, they require
strong leaders at the helm. Senior leaders must not only
articulate a vision people can rally around but also
create the conditions that enable digital maturity, attracting the
best talent and bringing out the best in the
talent they attract. The rapid changes associated with digital
disruption can be disorienting, so many of us
assume the leadership handbook must be completely rewritten
for the digital age. Is this true? Or are greater
and greater levels of uncertainty causing us to neglect the
essentials? Is it possible the leadership challenges
of the digital world are more the same than different but we are
overly focused on what’s different because
we are so alarmed by the threats to the status quo?
There is something to be said for both arguments. Over the past
five years, in a joint research project with
19. MIT Sloan Management Review and Deloitte, we have studied
how business and leadership are changing as
a result of digital disruption. (See “About the Research,” p. 36.)
We have found that while many core leader-
ship skills remain the same, the particular demands of digital
disruption call for certain new skills as well.

Here, we will explore which are which and what we
can learn from organizations that are digitally
maturing — that is, those that have been transformed
by digital technologies and capabilities that improve
processes, engage talent across the organization, and
drive new value-generating business models.
What Makes Digital
Leadership Different
Leaders face new challenges as a result of digital dis-
ruption. The biggest changes respondents cited in
20. our research are the increased pace of doing busi-
ness, the shift in organizational culture (and the
corresponding tensions between “change makers”
and employees with a traditional mindset), the need
for a flexible and distributed workplace, and greater
expectations of productivity. So it stands to reason
leaders need to adapt or augment some of their core
skills to navigate the digital world. To identify which
capabilities matter most in organizations, we asked
survey respondents, “What is the most important
skill organizational leaders should have to succeed in
a digital workplace?” (See “What’s Distinctive About
Digital Business and Digital Leadership?” p. 37.)
Taken together, the responses paint a compelling
composite picture of what effective leadership looks
like in a digital environment. The following traits
stand out as most critical.
Transformative vision and forward-looking
21. perspective. Providing vision and direction have
been long-standing essential components of leader-
ship. But in a digital environment, with the emphasis
on future change, they take on new significance.
In our survey, 22% of respondents say the most

important leadership skill to possess in a digital orga-
nization is a transformative vision, which includes
the ability to anticipate markets and trends, make
savvy business decisions, and solve tough problems
in turbulent times. The second most important is
being forward-looking (20%), which includes having
clear vision, sound strategy, and foresight. These skill
sets are closely related. We interpret the latter as
understanding how business trends are evolving be-
23. cause of technology and the former as being able to
guide the business in response to those trends.
Leaders with a transformative vision are equipped to
provide purpose and direction. How is that even pos-
sible when you’re facing an uncertain future? John
Glaser, senior vice president of population health at
Cerner, a health information technology provider,
had this to say when he described his approach to us:
“Work on things that are likely to be relevant to many
possible futures. Tell me a future in which engaging
patients to manage their own health is a bad idea, be-
cause I don’t see that future at all. So I may not know
how it’s going to play out, but under almost any con-
ceivable circumstance, these things will be relevant.”
Digital literacy. Understanding technology is the
third most important skill. Such a requirement may
seem obvious at a glance, but our survey respondents
define it in a particular way. They put a premium on
24. previous experience in a technology leadership role
but also say leaders need to have general digital literacy,
as opposed to hard-core technical skills like program-
ming or data science. Digital literacy is critical for two
reasons. First, it supports the first two leadership skills
cited: having transformative vision and being forward-
looking. A leader who is not digitally literate will
struggle to keep abreast of emerging trends and devel -
opments and will fail to grasp how those trends can
bring new value or represent a threat to the organiza-
tion. Second, understanding at a high level how
technology does (and does not) work enables leaders
to make more informed decisions in an uncertain en-
vironment. We observe in our research and consulting
work that it is often much easier and more effective to
help established business leaders become digitally
literate than it is to teach technologists the strategic
knowledge they need to lead effectively.
25. Adaptability. Tied for the third most important
capability, a leader must also be change-oriented —
that is, open-minded, adaptable, and innovative. Like
digital literacy, this skill supports other traits reported
as valuable. It helps leaders respond to a fluid envi -
ronment and change course if the technology and
market environments evolve in unanticipated ways.
This mindset also enables a digital leader to continu-
ally update his or her knowledge stores to account for
changes in technology and avoid obsolescence.
Leaders can replenish their knowledge stores through
formal continuing education, in-house training,
cross-generational reverse-mentoring programs, or
any of an abundance of online programs.
What Stays the Same
Of course, even though some things change with
respect to digital leadership, that doesn’t mean ev-
erything does. Indeed, one of the biggest pitfalls is
to ignore the fundamentals of good leadership in
26. the face of digital change. We find that leaders often
become so focused on the technological aspects
that they forget why they are engaged in these ef-
forts in the first place: to improve the way their
company does business. So here, we’ll call out a few
core skills that remain essential.
Articulating the value change will bring — and
investing accordingly. Digital transformation is
driven by new technology, but that technology is only
as valuable as the new business strategies and practices
it enables. Before leaping into any new technology,
leaders must be able to clearly articulate why they
need to invest in it. Too few executives display this
kind of discipline in the midst of all the digital noise.
Making matters worse, leaders also tend to expect
projects to go well without giving them proper finan-
cial support and resourcing. But not surprisingly, 75%
of survey respondents who say their company has
27. made appropriate levels of investment report success-
ful initiatives, while only 34% of those who say their
company does not commit sufficient time, energy,
and resources report successful outcomes.
Owning the transformation. When executives
delegate responsibility for digital business to
the technologists, it is a recipe for near-certain
failure. For example, we’ve seen technologists
flawlessly implement enterprise social media or col -
laboration platforms without conducting any
training or behavioral change initiatives to accom-
pany the launch. The result is often a beautiful
technology platform that employees don’t actually
ABOUT THE
RESEARCH
Over the past five years, we
have surveyed more than
20,000 business executives,
managers, and analysts
around the world to under-
stand the challenges and
opportunities associated
28. with digital transformation.
Each year, we have received
between 3,700 and 4,800 re-
sponses, capturing insights
from individuals in more than
120 countries and 28 indus-
tries, from organizations of
various sizes. More than
two-thirds of the respon-
dents are from outside the
U.S. The sample is drawn
from a number of sources,
including MIT Sloan Manage-
ment Review readers,
Deloitte Dbriefs webcast
subscribers, and other inter-
ested parties. We have also
interviewed more than 140
business executives from
a number of industries,
thought leaders, and aca-
demics to understand the
practical issues facing
organizations today. Their in-
sights contribute to a richer
understanding of the data.
A more complete treatment
of our research will appear

MANAGEMENT REVIEW 37
use. As with any change effort, top management in-
volvement and support signal prioritization and can
help align the rest of the organization behind a digital
transformation. It then becomes a cross-enterprise,
cross-functional endeavor, which makes it possible to
move from simply doing or adopting new technolo-
gies to being more digital as an organization. When
we asked respondents which part of the organization
was most likely to lead an organization’s digital initia-
tives, the least digitally mature companies tended to
situate projects in a functional area, such as IT
or marketing. (See “Strategy: Who Leads Digital
Progress?” p. 38.) Digitally maturing companies,
however, were nearly twice as likely to situate digital
efforts in the CEO’s office.3
Equipping employees to succeed. Another
aspect of good leadership that has not changed in-
30. volves enabling and empowering employees to carry
out new initiatives. A strong mandate from the top
isn’t enough. If you expect employees to engage in
new processes just because your company adopts a
new technology, you’re bound to be disappointed.
In the context of their existing job responsibilities,
employees typically don’t have the time or the know-
how to figure out new ways of working on the fly.
Leaders must set up employees for success. Among
respondents who report their organization provides
them with the resources and opportunities to thrive
in a digital environment, 72% say their digital initia-
tives are successful. However, among respondents
who say their company does not provide such
opportunities and resources, only 24% report suc-
cessful digital initiatives. Digital transformation is
both a top-down and a bottom-up effort.
Leaders can support employees in many ways —
31. for instance, by providing adequate training,
moving employees within the organization to learn
other ways of doing things from coworkers, and
giving them time and space to adapt so the neces-
sary learning feels doable in the context of their
other job responsibilities.
Developing the Right Muscles,
Mindsets, and Mettle
In the spirit of leading through others (which is,
after all, what senior executives are meant to do),
it’s critical to seed the organization with the man-
agement talent it needs to pull off and maintain a
transformation — and develop and enable the
right skills at all levels. To those ends, what can you
learn from digitally maturing companies? Here are
some lessons we gleaned from our research.
1
Hire digital leaders to get the ball rolling.
Many organizations have overlooked digital
32. transformation for so long that they don’t
even know where to begin. But they can make so-
called anchor hires to catalyze the process. These
are outside leaders with deep digital transforma-
tion experience who can provide the needed
expertise and perspective. For example, to begin
driving digital change, John Hancock hired a new

chief marketing officer who brought a small team
of managers that then developed innovative digital
initiatives that were insulated from the bureaucracy
of the rest of the organization. Once the digital
initiatives began to flourish, the team used the suc-
cesses to serve as a proof of concept to begin driving
35. change across the organization.
So, what skills do you need to look for in anchor
hires? The focus should be on two major areas:
• Having a track record of producing digital prod-
ucts with measurable value.
• Demonstrating the ability to enable and system-
atize into the organization a new way of thinking
and doing.
Bringing these skills in from the outside will
support the organization’s transformation, but it is
also important to sustain what has been built. For
that, you’ll need an entirely different, operational
skill set, which you may well find internally.
2
Regularly refresh your senior team’s digital
literacy. Let’s say your company’s leadership
team graduated from college more than five
years ago (in most organizations, top leaders have been
out of school for much longer than that). The odds are
36. strong that you need to update their digital literacy if
you haven’t already been taking steps to do so. Data
and analytics, artificial intelligence, blockchain, auton-
omous vehicles, additive manufacturing, virtual and
augmented reality, and other emerging technologies
are poised to radically reshape the business environ-
ment over the next decade. Certainly, most executives
don’t have the time, skill set, or inclination to become
sophisticated data scientists or software developers.
Nevertheless, virtually all executives are capable of
understanding new technologies at a strategic level
so that they can make decisions accordingly.
One solution here is simply to have ongoing con-
tinuing education sessions with your organization’s
leadership. As a part of those sessions, leaders can
engage in what many in Silicon Valley call zoom-in/
zoom-out strategizing, guided by facilitators with
deep digital knowledge. In this process, your execu-
37. tives forecast what your business or industry will
look like in 10 years as a result of a particular tech-
nology or general digital trends, and then they plot
what moves will be necessary in the next 12 to 18
months for your organization to begin preparing for
that future. While it is unlikely you will accurately
predict the future, this exercise helps you avoid the
all-too-common trap of strategizing about the cur-
rent digital environment instead of the one that will
be here by the time your strategies come to fruition.
3
Create an environment where new leaders
can step up. Digital business moves too
quickly for your managers and employees to
wait for marching orders to deal with every situa-
tion. Leaders need to clearly communicate strategic
objectives so front-line and middle managers can
make sound decisions on the ground and have
38. enough time and opportunity to experiment with
new ways of leading in a digital environment. One of
the most critical skills everyone needs to develop is
the ability to lead networks of people and teams,
rather than leading via a hierarchy. Traditional
leaders who take a waterfall approach to managing
communications and decisions — that is, those who
favor a linear and sequential approach to organi-
zational leadership — create bottlenecks and choke
points when speed is needed. In contrast, a network
approach facilitates iterative, fast, collaborative con-
versations and decisions by proliferating many small
nodes of communication and decision-making that
extend far beyond organizational lines and boxes. If
decision rights are clear, enabling, and communi-
cated, senior leaders can enhance the quality and
speed of these expanding networks by opening doors,
removing barriers, engaging with teams in collabora-
39. tive work, helping them become more agile, and
focusing on innovating day-to-day work.

Cultivate a culture of experimentation.
Finally, leaders should think like innovators
and provide the space for employees to try
new things, learn from them, adjust, and scale.
Most organizations pay lip service to the concept of
failing fast but, in fact, send implicit messages that
“failure is not an option.” To avoid conveying mixed
signals, you can actively encourage and reward
41. learning that comes with less-than-successful
efforts — often called failing forward. As Richard
Gingras, vice president of Google News, told us,
“It’s really not that important if the experiment
succeeds or fails; it’s what they learn from it. Good,
bad, or indifferent, it is intelligence that they can lay
claim to. Maybe it didn’t work out the way we
thought it would, but we learned X, Y, and Z, and
we’re not embarrassed by the fact that our initial
assumptions were wrong. There are no failures. We
tried something, and we learned something.”
SO, WHAT KIND OF leaders do we need for the era
of digital disruption? Commanders who study past
battles with an eye toward gleaning lessons learned,
or intrepid adventurers who believe what is hap-
pening now is nothing like what has ever happened
before? The answer is a healthy blend of both: lead-
ers who have the core skills cultivated from the
42. insights of the past, but with the agile mindset and
digital savvy to allow them to pivot when necessary.
In short, we need leaders who can “be the change
we seek.”

Literature Review Explanation & Layout
Definition: A literature review is an objective, critical summary
of published research literature
relevant to a topic under consideration for research. Its purpose
is to create familiarity with
current thinking and research on a particular topic and may
justify future research into a
previously overlooked or understudied area.
The standard review consists of the following components:
1. Introduction:
• A concise definition of a topic under consideration (this may
be a descriptive or argumentative
thesis, or proposal), as well as the scope of the related literature
being investigated. For
example: If the topic under consideration is ‘wartime diaries’,
the scope of the review may be
46. limited to published or unpublished works, works in English,
works from a particular location,
time period, or conflict, etc.)
• The introduction should also note intentional exclusions.
(Example: “This review will not
explore the diaries of a particular group of people.”)
• Another purpose of the introduction is to state the general
findings of the review (what do most
of the sources conclude), and comment on the availability of
sources in the subject area.
2. Main Body:
• There are many ways to organize the evaluation of the
sources. Chronological and theme
based approaches are each useful examples.
• Each work should be critically summarized and evaluated for
its premise, methodology, and
conclusion. It is as important to address inconsistencies,
omissions, and errors, as it is to
identify accuracy, depth, and relevance.
• Use logical connections and transitions to connect sources.
3. Conclusion
47. • The conclusion summarizes the key findings of the review in
general terms. Notable
commonalities between works, whether favourable or not, may
be included here.
• This section is the reviewer’s opportunity to justify a research
proposal. Therefore, the idea
should be clearly re-stated and supported according to the
findings of the review.
4. References
• As well as accurate in-text citations, a literature review must
contain complete and correct
citations for every source.

Effective Leadership in Today's Digital World
In the current digital era, technological changes have
influenced leadership effectiveness in various ways. Thus, the
understanding of effective leadership within the digitalized
world or culture revolves around leaders having the power to
inspire, encourage, engage and lead others with clarity and
optimism (Hensellek, 2020). As a result, the need for effective
leadership remains as maintaining focus on building leadership
communication skills, encouraging autonomy among team
members, and identifying objectives. Salvetti & Bertagni (2020)
reveal that corporate leaders operating under the wave of digital
transformation are enhancing their effectiveness through
digitalized teamwork, start-up cultures, and matrix management.
In this topic proposal, the intended study issue to address
is the adaptability to handle pressure and constant changes and
taking decisions with agility. The effectiveness of digital -based
leadership enables a leader to avoid losing the significance of
various projects via faults. According to Salvetti & Bertagni
(2020), the roles of young leaders in the current complicated
and digitalized leadership settings need more agile models or
teams to cultivate a dynamic mindset that can promote
digitalized collaborative partnerships and effectiveness.
49. Leadership and technology are the general areas of study
within which the research falls. This area has rich sources of the
current state of knowledge and dominates the current global
debates. For instance, the current research by Kane et al. (2019)
shows that digital transformation requires influential leaders to
think like innovators to avoid failures. Innovative leadership
allows employees or followers to attempt new things and adjust
to technological changes. Thus, the best effective leadership
needed for the current digital disruption era allows a leader to
understand the past leadership challenges toward gleaning the
learned lessons (Kane et al., 2019). An exemplary blend of
leaders possessing the core skills based on past insights, but
with the agile mindset and digital savvy forms leadership that
offers the changes needed by people.
