Digital leadership means this | DIGITAL LEADERS
Good digital leadership means pushing against the status quo. Taking risks. Some people at GDS have taken extraordinary risks, sometimes without telling me that they were doing so. It takes courage to take risks, and being a leader is partly about building an environment where people feel courageous enough. That probably means building a different culture within your organisation.
That in turn means reforming traditional hierarchical management. Thatâs one reason why we wrote our Design Principles, one reason why weâve turned âThe unit of delivery is the teamâ into a catchphrase. GDS is built on trust and teams. Those teams know that theyâre trusted to get on with good work and to do the right thing. I get to stand up on stage and take all the glory, but believe me: without that team working incredibly hard behind me, I wouldnât be here at all. Again: welcome to leadership.
