With the rapid adaptation to the digital age, this is a new education dimension that requires application process. Digital technology contributes to a rapid transition due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, it leads to the immediate adaptation to all sectors to accommodate the circumstances. From the past, it is not only education that has had to adapt rapidly. Undeniably, technology serves as a key of development, not only advancing science, engineering, and industry by creating tools and conveniences but also by enhancing human potential and improving the quality of life. Therefore, educational development is extremely important to ensure that educators possess the knowledge, awareness, and ability to lead in the rapid advancement of technology. The challenge of being a leader in educational transformation in the digital age is that adapting to various technologies is something that must be carefully considered how it should be approached and in which direction. Additionally, it is crucial to understand what knowledge is necessary for effective adaptation. Most importantly, the approach to being a leader in digital educational transformation requires a deep understanding of what must be done. This issue should be given significant attention because the key to successful transformation lies with the leader. If the leader is not one who drives change, the transition to the modern era will not happen. Therefore, the competencies required for being a leader in Digital Transformation encompass several important aspects.
