Article - Leadership in the digital era: A review of who, what, when, where, and why (Ahead-of-print)
Leadership as a social influence process has always involved a complex set of phenomena that demands an
interdisciplinary lens. Leadership scholarship has now entered into a digital era. In a digital era, the overall
phenomenon is changing, as are the tools through which we study it, demanding a new “lens” through which
we view leadership. Yet, this raises the question, to what extent is leadership different in a digital era? In
acknowledgement of this trend, a special issue was commissioned at The Leadership Quarterly that sought
to stimulate the imagination of leadership scholars and practitioners. In the current work, we begin with a brief
review of who, what, when, where and why of digital leadership. We cover leadership in informal contexts
(e.g., social media), generalization from face?to?face to virtual contexts, computational modeling, the leverag-
ing of technology (e.g., machine learning; Big Data), as well methodological how?to guides. We then plot a path
forward for leadership scholars in the dawn of the digital era.
