Abstract

The disruptive and uncertain nature of the digital space requires that the first-time leader be very responsive in the dynamic environment. The agile and lean approaches provide the platform for the continuous development of talent and give autonomy to team members, allowing them to be creative and innovative in their approach which can result in novel solutions. New thinking and flexibility in leadership is paramount in a decentralized space that is filled with unpredictable, evolving, and complicated events. The success of first-time leaders will be dependent on their ability to navigate the evolving digital environment where the traditional hierarchical command-and-control leadership constructs are not welcome. Dynamic and revolutionary leadership practices are paramount in the new “workplace order” where changes occur almost at the speed of light. This exploratory study investigates how the merger of agile and lean thinking principles can result in a hybrid approach to leadership in the digital era.
