Many managers struggle with the management of digitalization. They see it as a technical discipline that is poorly connected to their day-to-day professional management.

With the book "Leadership in the Digital Jungle", Per Eeg wants to help these leaders move forward - and guide them to find their own way through the digital jungle of opportunities and challenges.

The book is especially aimed at managers in the public sector who are looking for an accessible and understandable handbook to help them manage digitalization.

Power is usually perceived as something negative, almost reprehensible. But why is this the case?
