Abstract: Leadership inspires digital transformation. Values, skills, and behaviors of leaders are key in driving and leading organizational development processes. The aim of this study was to examine the existing scientific research and develop an integrative framework focused specifically on leadership competencies for digital transformation. For this purpose, a systematic literature review based on Web of Science and Scopus databases has been conducted. In order to analyze and synthetize the qualitative data, the method of content analysis was used. The identified leadership dimensions (competencies) are: why (vision, innovation, flexibility); what (understanding digital technologies, empowerment, collaboration); and how (multiple intelligences, experimentation, continuous learning). The resulting competency framework can be used in the field of business management by leadership and organizational development specialists, educators, as well as current and aspiring leaders of digital transformation. By implementing a proposed future research agenda, the presented results can be further validated, compared and contextualized.
