Nadine Poser highlights the need for digital transformation in international organizations, not only from a business perspective but from a human point of view. Information technology is on the rise and with it the demand for highly influential digital leaders. The book covers the question under which conditions leadership can overcome physical distance. The author deliberately shifts the attention from those who lead to those who follow.
