Abstract:
This chapter explores the challenges and opportunities facing educational leaders in the context of the digital transformation of educational organisations. As digital technologies reshape the educational landscape, digital leadership emerges as a core competency to guide institutions into the future. This text examines the evolution of the concept of digital leadership, its current applications in education, and the essential competencies that leaders need to develop, such as advanced digital literacy, change management, and pedagogical innovation. Ethical and equity challenges arising from technological implementation are highlighted, including the digital divide and resistance to change, as well as opportunities for pedagogical innovation and the development of digital and soft skills. In addition, the chapter offers strategies for effective digital leadership including ongoing training, fostering an innovative organisational culture, and building collaborative and supportive networks
