Leaders must understand not only how to use technology in the context of business, but also how to use technology or tools to build a workforce that may be distributed across the country or across the globe. As a result, the tenets of leadership become even more important. Digital leaders must have emotional intelligence and find ways to use technology to connect with employees and clients that they may never meet in person.
