Managers are faced with new challenges caused by globalization, digital transformation and a shortage of skilled workers due to demographic change. Working conditions, flexible work models like the implementation of home office or mobile office have become more important and the terms digital leadership and new leadership arise. Consequently, it is not only important that leadership changes for the company to be competitive in the markets, but also to position itself as a more competitive employer in the job market. From the point of view of leadership, due to the spatial separation through working remote, a tension arises between proximity and distance and a conflict between control and trust or between integration and laissez-faire.
