摘要
Overview: The digital transformation of organizations continues at a frenetic pace. While some companies have achieved trailblazer status, others are lagging because they find the transition difficult. Digital leaders play a pivotal role in digital transformation successes because they can inspire organizational and employee confidence in these disruptive and sometimes risky initiatives. We present a Digital Leadership Scale with 15 dimensions. Our scale focuses on successful leadership in digital transformation. We aimed to capture the qualities of leaders leading digitally mature organizations so that leaders of digitally developing organizations can increase their likelihood of success. We also mention the future development of a Digital Leadership Scale self-assessment tool that digital leaders can use to assess their own readiness and ability to accelerate digital initiatives.
