The success of an organization’s digital transformation depends on its managers' and leaders' digital skills and talents. Today’s mix of senior, aging-out Gen X, (born between 1964 and 1979) and younger Gen Y (1981 and 1994) technology managers and leaders shared in a recent study that they did not have a firm grasp on what are some high-performance fundamentals for driving digital change or digital transformation, becoming the 4.0 Digital Leader. Also, when recently surveyed, a high percentage of managers shared that they believe a large portion of managers are not effective coaches. Further, managers struggle to find time to prioritize coaching, which is an area that needs development for many managers. In contrast, many managers have never been trained in effective coaching practices. This presentation provides fundamentals of high-performance driving digital change best practices for developing high-performance leaders and shares the importance of coaching for high performance in building, leading, and sustaining an innovative digital organization.

The session will be structured along with the presentation of a digital leadership framework, the results of a leadership development program, the history and importance of coaching, closing with the employee ability and motivation coaching style matrix to drive digital change.

3. The importance of coaching for high performance in building, leading, and sustaining an innovative organization.
