Synopsis

In today’s world, leadership concepts are undergoing a fundamental transformation due to the impact of digitalization. In this context, technological leadership has evolved beyond an approach focused solely on the use of technological tools to become a leadership model containing multi-layered dimensions. This study examines the concept of technological leadership, which has come to the fore in our era of rapidly increasing digitalization, from a multidimensional perspective. The historical development process of technological leadership, its fundamental components, leadership styles, and skills have been comprehensively examined, with particular emphasis on its mutual interaction with digital transformation. Literature reviews indicate that technological leadership has a direct impact on organizational performance, innovation capacity, and digital adaptation. Furthermore, ethical responsibilities and social impacts in the context of integrating artificial intelligence and advanced technologies into leadership processes are also evaluated. The study also analyzes the structural, cultural, and ethical challenges faced by technological leadership and offers predictions for future leadership approaches. The study aims to contribute to academic and applied research, providing a theoretical framework for future studies.
