Technological advancements affect leader behaviors, decisions, insights, lifestyles, and it even impacts leaders' selves. Although digital transformation has become so central, and it has challenges for leaders and organizations, the studies are deficient in the quantity that links and associates leader and digital transformation. In this context, this research deals with answering two clear and vital questions: Which characteristics create effective and efficient business leaders, and how leader behaviors are affected by digital transformation. This research finds skills and key behaviors the leader of today and the future possesses, which potential leaders can adopt and employ. On the other side, it reveals the challenges this disruption causes and its effect on leaders. It moreover brings a holistic approach to provide a paradigm for leadership.
