Leadership in the age of digital disruption is now a core business skill, not a management theory.
Host Tom Wheelwright sits down with Mike Peterson, author of Leading in the Age of Digital Disruption, to explain why leadership — not technology — determines whether a business succeeds in a fast-changing environment. Companies are not failing because of AI, automation, or younger workers. They fail because leadership models built for stable environments no longer work.
In this episode you will learn:
- How Baby Boomers and experienced leaders can successfully lead Gen Z teams
- Why communication and clarity matter more than technical expertise
- How to integrate AI tools without losing culture or accountability
- What leadership habits must change as technology accelerates
- How strong leadership creates innovation and productivity
Peterson explains that today’s leaders must shift from command-and-control management to coaching, alignment, and decision guidance. Wheelwright connects these ideas to entrepreneurship: businesses grow when leaders create systems that empower teams rather than micromanage them.
Technology is moving faster than organizations can adapt. Leaders who understand people, incentives, and communication will outperform leaders who only focus on software and tools. In a disruptive economy, leadership becomes a competitive advantage.
