"Longstanding views that favor heroism in leadership are coming to an end. This book is an excellent contribution to our understanding of alternatives to the way leadership is exercised in twenty-first-century organizations. The book is refreshing and opens up really important debates, especially in a time in which alternative ways of organizing are emerging."—Dr. Jose Bento Da Silva"Maniscalco makes a compelling case for Couple Leadership, the new paradigm for leadership within the digital sector. By dissecting the model and analyzing its practice, she lays bare the benefits it brings and how it navigates the pitfalls all too often succumbed to in traditional approaches to the role of digital innovation. Engaging from an academic perspective, her hypotheses are backed up with real-world explorations and practical tools to put the theory into immediate use in the workplace, making this a must-read for digital innovation leaders, both old and new, as well as those working in proximity to such business functions." –Prask Sutton, CEO of Wi5
