Abstract

This dissertation explores how digitalization is changing and challenging
leadership whilst offering new perspectives on leading digitalization. By
building a bridge between research and practice, this dissertation offers in-
teresting insights into the multiple realities through which leaders resonate
with leading digitalization. First, leaders struggle to make sense of digital
leadership, and therefore create digital narratives that hinder their leader-
ship. These leaders, however, can release themselves from negative digital
narratives by engaging in phantasies of the future. Second, digital leaders
need to develop – however, instead of relying on existing research, leaders
can take competence approach and build on what is already known. Third,
sharing challenges related to leading digitalization with others can enable
new perspectives on the complex situations that leaders find themselves
in. The findings presented are interesting reading for leaders as well as re-
searchers and contribute to the discovery of different forms of engagement
with processes of digitalization in which leaders must embed technology
both socially and organizationally within their organizations.
