Abstract: Abstract What does the future of work in the ecosystem look like and how must leaders respond to it? Even if most fears and worries do not prove to be true over a long period of time, they can suddenly occur due to unforeseeable events, a combination of trends, or because of the effects of industry and technology convergence. As part of strategic foresight, leaders must develop various scenarios for the future. In the context of ecosystems, these are digital value creation, platform economy, and virtual parallel worlds. Due to increasing connectivity and a shift into the virtual world, people in the digital paradigm are subject to permanent collaboration and the exchange of knowledge and resources with other organizations and individuals via digital tools. In times of digital disruption and uncertainty, there is a need for human leadership that integrates purpose, wellbeing, and happiness and highlights emotional intelligence as part of the organizational culture. To benefit from convergence and thus create a responsible society, a human-centered perspective must be adopted. This is what ecosystem leadership is all about and represents a constructive normative result of digital transformation.
