Leading through technological change. It is crucial for leading to recognize the transformative impact of technology on their businesses. This recognition involves not only understanding individual technologies but also the challenge of articulating these concepts effectively. This discussion explores the complexities involved in explaining various technologies and the importance of a comprehensive understanding for effective leadership. As leaders, it’s essential to recognize the influence technology can have on our enterprises. Yet, determining which technology is the most challenging to elucidate remains a question.
The Rise of Technology Evangelists
It’s commonplace to observe ‘evangelists’ on LinkedIn advocating for a singular technology or solution as a panacea for global challenges.
