Today's information/digital age offers widespread use of social media. The use of social media is ubiquitous and cuts across all age groups, social classes and cultures. However, the increased use of these media is accompanied by privacy issues and ethical concerns. These privacy issues can have far-reaching professional, personal and security implications. Ultimate privacy in the social media domain is very difficult because these media are designed for sharing information. Participating in social media requires persons to ignore some personal, privacy constraints resulting in some vulnerability. The weak individual privacy safeguards in this space have resulted in unethical and undesirable behaviors resulting in privacy and security breaches, especially for the most vulnerable group of users. An exploratory study was conducted to examine social media usage and the implications for personal privacy. We investigated how some of the requirements for participating in social media and how unethical use of social media can impact users' privacy. Results indicate that if users of these networks pay attention to privacy settings and the type of information shared and adhere to universal, fundamental, moral values such as mutual respect and kindness, many privacy and unethical issues can be avoided.
The disruptive and uncertain nature of the digital space requires that the first-time leader be very responsive in the dynamic environment. The agile and lean approaches provide the platform for the continuous development of talent and give autonomy to team members, allowing them to be creative and innovative in their approach which can result in novel solutions. New thinking and flexibility in leadership is paramount in a decentralized space that is filled with unpredictable, evolving, and complicated events. The success of first-time leaders will be dependent on their ability to navigate the evolving digital environment where the traditional hierarchical command-and-control leadership constructs are not welcome. Dynamic and revolutionary leadership practices are paramount in the new “workplace order” where changes occur almost at the speed of light. This exploratory study investigates how the merger of agile and lean thinking principles can result in a hybrid approach to leadership in the digital era.
