Abstract

Relationships have been documented to be the hub of employee social activities in the workplace. With the disruptions of Industry 4.0, much value and attention is given to machines and technology. Concepts of leadership and followership held by organizations may no longer hold water to determine the place of man and machines as relational tools in the workplace and to highlight the promotion of values in the man-human interface in the 4IR. The centrality of this chapter will be to determine whether the leadership and followership theories are relevant to organizations in the face of 4IR. In the 4IR, practitioner's attention should be on human development to lead despite technological advancements and the development of artificial intelligence.
