Abstract
The digitization of information is fundamentally changing the way we work and create value. Now significant human interactions are mediated through information technology. Consequently, new organizational form and new work environment is shaping up asking for reconstruction of the concept of leadership. The new organizational form is called virtual organizations, new work environment is known as Eenvironment and the emerging leadership pattern is labeled as E-leadership. The distinguishing feature of E-leadership is the new interface between leader and his followers. The traditional face to face interaction is being replaced with one mediated by information technology. The global leadership traits considered necessary for traditional leaders are equally applicable to e-Leaders. What distinguish e-Leaders are the skills, attitudes, knowledge and their professional and personal experiences. Moreover e-Leaders are neither “technology guru” nor “business wizards”. They know technology, its effective use and the business direction of the organization
