In the digital era, leadership involves understanding technology, adapting to change and fostering innovation. Transformational leaders excel at crafting a shared vision and inspiring adaptability in the digital age. Today, with artificial intelligence and digital transformation, emotional intelligence (EI) and transformational leadership are essential skills, as they enhance performance, affecting both leaders and their followers positively. Proficiency in managing emotions, along with qualities like empathy and self-awareness, forms the foundation of transformational leadership, making it effective in complex social environments, including remote work. In combination, transformational leadership and EI can create a culture that values digital well-being. This culture encourages employees to manage their digital usage mindfully, prioritise work-life balance, and proactively address issues related to the impact of technology on their mental and physical health. Ultimately, this fosters a work environment where individuals are more productive, engaged, and satisfied, thus contributing to the overall success of the organisation.
