Being a Better Leader in the Digital Age

With the ongoing changes taking place in this digital age, leadership styles must also adapt to not only these rapid advancements but also the multi-generational issues that exist between Baby Boomers and the Gen Y group.

We're being bombarded with new technology all the time and today's leaders must be fluid and adaptable to these changes if they hope to survive. The challenge becomes even greater when you add into the mix the ongoing generational differences out there.


Brad Szollose, author of 'Liquid Leadership: From Woodstock to Wikipedia, Multi-generational Management Ideas That are Changing the Way We Run Things' joins HCL Radio to discuss these issues.

Brad outlines 7 credos in Liquid Leadership to help leaders adapt to these changes:

1. Place people first
2. Create a safe place to tell the truth
3. Nuture a creative enviorment
4. Support re-invention
5. Lead by example
6. Take responsibility
7. Leave a lasting legacy


He'll also discuss how the introduction of video games in the home 1977 coupled with the internet heavily influenced those that would go on to lead the Dot.com boom.

Bridging The Divide

Our current workplace is very different today then it was a few years ago. There's a wider range of age groups with differing attitudes, values, and motivators working together on the same team.

Inter-generational interactions are common in the workplace and we're starting to see much more attention paid to this as analysts are studying how to make it all work.



With so much talk spent on the issues related to this new workforce, it's really easy to get caught up and overlook the fact that what we're really talking about how we get people of diverse backgrounds and interests to co-exist and function as a team.

Clearly, a non functioning team is an ineffective one whether it's in the workplace or the basketball court.

Getting people from different backgrounds on the same page is a clear and recognizable issue to many so I've called on the services of Dr. Graeme Codrington to help us make sense of it all on the next edition of HCL Radio.



One of the things he said was, "I actually think this generational stuff is more of a short hand way of talking about bigger cultural shifts and societal shifts that are taking place in the world."

Dr. Codrington is based out of London, England and is the co-founder of Tomorrow Today, a global consulting firm with a successful track record of helping companies connect with their most valuable customers and talented staff, in a manner that drives down costs and increases sales.

The good doctor is an expert on the new world of work and multi-generational workplaces. As a writer, speaker and strategy consultant, he has helped thousands of business leaders get more from their people and improve sales by understanding how to influence others.

Join us on the next episode of HCL Radio as Dr. Codrington helps us break down this truly global phenomenon.
