Abstract: Abstract Digital Transformation in the industrial sector, known as Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0, has risen in an expressive way in organisations. At the same time, the role of a leader has become strategic to guide organisations through the complexity of organisational changes. However, few research studies have analysed leadership from a holistic view of Digital Transformation. This paper aims to investigate the most relevant leadership characteristics in this context. Based on a literature review, leader attributes were mapped using a Digital Transformation framework proposing as outputs of the efforts and changes to becoming a more: sensing, smart, sustainable and social organisation. The main contribution of this paper is the survey of the main leadership styles to support Digital Transformation. The findings also have a managerial contribution as a tool to understand the leader’s profile required to guide an organisation through its digital maturity in the Digital Transformation journey.
