Abstract This study explores the relationship between digital transformation leadership and organizational agility, focusing on how leadership in the digital age influences organizations’ ability to adapt to change and stay competitive. The primary objectives include determining the relationship between a digital-first mindset and resilience, as well as examining the link between strategic alignment and organizational resilience. The theoretical framework is grounded in Contingency Theory, highlighting the importance of aligning organizational structures and strategies with environmental demands to achieve agility. A conceptual review of relevant literature reveals that effective digital leadership is critical for fostering innovation, driving change, and enhancing agility in the face of technological disruptions. The study identifies significant gaps in the current literature, particularly regarding the direct impact of digital transformation leadership on organizational agility. The findings emphasize the need for organizations to prioritize leadership development, digital literacy, and strategic alignment to succeed in the digital transformation process. Recommendations include investing in leadership training programs, enhancing employee adaptability, and considering regional technological constraints when implementing digital initiatives.
