What is digital leadership with Ilona Brannen of Slate Digital
About the episode
This episode focuses on digital leadership and how it differs from traditional leadership styles. While many companies transitioned to either fully remote or hybrid in the last years, leadership is yet to experience a level-up in their skills for the newly changed environment. I’ve sat down with Ilona Brannen, a leadership consultant from the UK, to discuss how leaders can adapt to the future of work.

Quotes from the show
With leadership, you can recognize it when it's good, and you can recognize it when it's bad. Leadership development is important for any company because you have more of those good behaviors you want to see.
When I think of leaders, they and their teams transform. They all go on a journey of development together. And that's how you know you are creating great leaders when they create other great leaders.
Culture will become more of a prominent feature. It has to be intentional when remote, whereas it can be organic if you are all physically in the same location. So companies that invest in culture and understanding their values will have an advantage over those who have yet to make that distinction.
