Abstract: This thesis contributes to our understanding of leadership in the 21st century by analyzing three central developments that leaders are currently facing: The digital transformation, changes of organizational hierarchies as well as organizational networks. Four empirical chapters demonstrate the vast changes of work design and leadership in the digital era, reveal the influence of leaders’ emotion displays on organizational hierarchies as well as the importance of leading organizational networks via stakeholder management. Implications for theory and practice are developed and possibilities for further research are outlined.
