Abstract
- The changing nature of leadership is already a motion in progress. The digital revolution is already a fact. The current paper attempts to define what kind of leaders to expect in the near future in the context of the technological society. What to expect if the leader is noeme, cyborg, just an avatar or any kind of HET (human enhancement technology) person? How virtual leadership affects the effectiveness and what is needed for the virtual leaders or social media opinion leaders to move the masses—is there a special ingredient? Current trends are reviewed and extrapolated to a transhumanistic perspective. It is also argued that now the transhumanist perspective is marginal, but (following the tendencies) may be dominant in the future. That suggestion deserves a closer examination because it redefines the perception of the leadership as a whole. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
