CANVAS: Digital Leadership

In their book “NETWORK SCHLÄGT HIERARCHIE – Neue Führung mit Digital Leadership”, the authors Christiane Brandes-Visbeck and Ines Gensinger provide their readers with a helpful Canvas for developing their Digital Leadership style towards “Digital Leadership Excellence”.

This versatile tool is presented separately in this toolbox.

In working with the Canvas, which can be used for visualization, you will answer questions on topics ranging from the vision of Digital Leadership to your personal development barometer.
