The Showcase for Women Leadership in Digitalization Era of the Workplace

Abstract

The concept of leadership is an important factor that affects the success of organizations. Digitalization and digital transformation have increased the importance of the concept of leadership in the business world. Digitalization is effective on communication and coordination and provides success in competition. Leaders should keep their leadership styles and digital knowledge up to date for corporate success. Among the characteristics that should be presented by a leader are effective communication, problem deconstruction skills, transfer of authority, and empathy. Although the concept of leadership is gender decoupled, differences arise between the distribution of male and female managers in the business world. Gender biases and social stereotypes still limit the number of women in senior leadership positions. As a solution to this situation, a gender quota is being implemented in some countries. In this chapter, the intersection between leadership, women's leadership, digitalization, and the impact of digitalization on women's leadership will be discussed.
