Abstract

The integration of technology in leadership style has become a key factor in improving innovation and team performance in technology-driven organizations. Effective leaders in the digital age must be able to leverage technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital collaboration platforms to accelerate data-driven decision-making and improve team communication. However, success in integrating technology also depends on the leader's ability to understand and manage the social and emotional aspects that arise from implementing technology in teams. Technology-driven leaders must create a balance between the utilization of technological tools and the management of human relationships within the organization. By optimizing these two aspects, organizations can foster a culture of continuous innovation and increase productivity within the team. This article explores how leaders can integrate technology in their leadership style to maximize innovation and team performance in an increasingly digital business world. It also discusses the challenges faced in the application of technology in leadership and the steps that can be taken to achieve them.
