1. Social Supers. Certain leaders stand out for their ability to do well by doing good. These Social Supers consider social initiatives fundamental to the success of their businesses. Their optimism about creating societal impact influences their outlook in several ways.

2. Data-Driven Decisives. Some C-level executives are overcoming challenges by taking methodical, data-focused approaches to strategic decision-making. The need for fully utilisation of big data is fundamental.

3. Talent Champions. These leaders are preparing employees for digital transformation. They are more likely than others to invest in employee retraining for the future of work.

4. Disruption Drivers. These leaders understand that investments in disruptive innovations set their organizations apart from competitors. They are confident, which gives them an advantage when coping with the unknowns of Industry 4.0. More-assured organizations will be better prepared to implement disruptive technologies.

· There will be enormous managerial leadership challenges as the impact of technology and the disruption that comes will result in an exogenous force over which leaders would have little or no control at times.

· It is the role of leaders to guide their teams and to be mindful of these forces when making business decisions that would impact on the sustainability of their organisations.

· Leaders should thus grasp the opportunity and power so as to shape Industrial Revolution 4.0 and direct it toward a future that reflects the organisation values and success.

Please reflect and answer the following two questions:

· Critically discuss the challenges and opportunities of Industrial Revolution 4.0 for today’s managers. What are your views?

· What characteristics and skills define the successful entrepreneurial leader in the era of 4.0? Please bring an example of a successful entrepreneurial leader and justify your answer.
