The use of information technology is fundamentally changing the way we work and produce value. Critical human relationships are now being mediated by technology. As a result, a new organisational structure and working environment have emerged, necessitating a leadership reevaluation. Virtual organisations are the new organisational shape, E-environments are the new working conditions, and E-leadership is the increasing leadership style. The new touch between the leader and his followers is a distinguishing feature of E-leadership. Face-to-face communication is being phased out in favour of technology-mediated interactions. Traditional leaders, like e-Leaders, must be able to lead at a global level. Because of their abilities, attitudes, expertise, and personal and professional experiences, E-Leaders stand out. "Technology experts" and "business geniuses" are not e-Leaders. They are tech-savvy and know how to use it effectively, and how the organisation runs.
