If these young experts have unique working methods and a language of their own, they are also at the center of the value creation network. How can a leader cope with these changes and exploit the remarkable potential of this new generation? No Fear builds on the personal experiences of leaders of major international companies and points the way forward for any leader who wants to grow its business and its employees in the digital age. The digital revolution will pose new challenges to the leaders of the companies.
