Examining the impact of digital transformation on organizational leadership and change management

Digital transformation leadership was conceptualized as “a set of decisions, actions, and management requirements that include designing a roadmap, allocating resources, organizing, and selecting and implementing an appropriate governance framework to maximize the benefits of adopting transformative technologies in the organization.” The identified categories are digital roadmap (including digital vision, digital strategy, digital planner), digital governance (including planning and coordination, and monitoring and control), digital organization (including digital leaders, organizational structure, digital partners, digital culture, and digital workplace), and digital resources (including digital infrastructure, digital talent, and digital investment). Digital transformation, as one of the most important phenomena of the present era, has transformed the structures, processes, and business models of organizations. This transformation is not limited to the use of new technologies, but also includes extensive changes in organizational culture, management practices, and leadership styles. Traditional organizations, which have long been accustomed to fixed and hierarchical methods, are now forced to adapt to these rapid changes in order to remain relevant in the digital world. This article examines the challenges and solutions for change management in traditional organizations in the face of digital transformation. In such circumstances, organizational leaders play a pivotal role in guiding changes, reducing employee resistance, and creating readiness to accept new technologies. The aim of this article is to examine the impact of digital transformation on organizational leadership and change management. The results show that the success of digital transformation requires the development of new leadership styles, increasing organizational flexibility, strengthening a learning culture, and applying effective change management approaches.
