Mastering the Digital Shift: Leading Through Human Resistance and Cultivating a Strategic Digital Mindset

In the contemporary era of disruptive technological paradigms, Digital Transformation (DT) has transitioned from a mere competitive advantage to a fundamental prerequisite for organizational longevity. Empirical evidence suggests that over 70% of DT initiatives fail, not due to technical constraints, but due to human-centric factors. This paper adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to investigate leadership challenges in the face of organizational resistance and explores systemic strategies for fostering a "Digital Mindset." The findings indicate that the synthesis of classical change management frameworks (e.g., ADKAR) with Agile Leadership principles is essential for navigating the complexities of the digital transition.
