Abstract: The digital age has brought about new challenges to companies in terms of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), where leadership agility and organizational resilience have emerged as strategic priorities. This research paper explores the connections between leadership agility and organizational resilience and the role digital transformation plays in them as catalysts and contextual variables. Through the review of existing literature and development of a mixed-methodological approach for research, it is revealed what dimensions of leadership agility – adaptive thinking, decentralized decision making, emotional intelligence, transparent communication, and learning – have a significant effect on the organizational resilience factors in a causal way. The results show the impact of digital leadership orientation on organizational resilience through mediation by strategic foresight, agility, and flexibility. Comparative analysis shows how companies with leadership agility have 34 percent more capacity for organizational resilience than companies with lower leadership agility.
