Abstract:

The continuous technological progress has led in recent years to the fact that digitization has now arrived in almost all areas of daily life. In the newspaper ZEIT Michael Allmaier wrote 2017: "I used to travel more. On a normal Saturday I drove to the city. Strolled through the shops, ate a bite and later maybe went to the movies. The same program 2017: Zalando, Netflix, Foodora." (see Die Zeit, 2017). However, digitization is not only finding its way into the home and changing the daily lives, it is also affecting the day-to-day business environment and workplaces. Furthermore it affects the way of communication of people among each other. Since leadership has a high need for communication, opportunities and challenges might arise here as well.
