Leadership traits required for international organizational success in the digital era

  • This master thesis investigates leadership traits and how they can drive success within international organizations in the digital era. The basic principles of what defines a leader have undergone significant scrutiny throughout the past one hundred years, however, the digital revolution has created the most upset when considering the requirements for efficient leadership. This paper utilizes a literature review to first determine how modern leadership theory developed and the implications of current research, followed by an empirical study designed to collect real-world data which represents how current leaders active in various industries understand their role as a leader and what skills they use to promote success within their organization. Cross-examination of these sources indicates that the most effective leaders employ a combination of Transformational Leadership Theory and Emotional Intelligence-based leadership. The extent to which a leader must individualize their style is strongly contingent on the organizational culture, the individual employees, and the external environment. While traits such as communication, charisma, and trustworthiness are certainly strong indications of an efficient leader, agility and adaptability clearly stand out as the traits which are most required for highly effective leaders in the digital era.
