        abstract = {This   study   explores   the   complex   influence   of   Digital   Leadership   on   Creativity,   Innovation,   and Organizational Performance within the industrial sector. Investigating 191 middle-level managers via Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM), thisresearch uncovers the mechanism underlying technology-driven management.  The  empirical  results  indicate  that  Digital  Leadership  significantly  enhances employee  Creativity, which  subsequently  exerts  a  powerful,  positive  influence  on  organizational  Innovation.  However,  an  intriguing paradox  emerges  as  Digital  Leadership  demonstrates  no  direct  significant  effect  on  Organizational  Performance. Instead, Corporate Innovation plays a crucial mediating role, acting as the primary engine that directly and positively affects overall Organizational Performance. Grounded in the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities Theory, these findings reveal thatdigital vision and leadership are latent assets that require internal reconfiguration. In the realm of industrial management, especially within high power distance cultures like Indonesia, leaders cannot rely solely on technological adoption to boost financial metrics. Instead, they must act as cultural architects who foster individual creativity and structural psychological safety. Ultimately, these strategic outcomes offer valuable insights for industrial management, emphasizing that Digital Leadership must be translated sequentially through creativity and fungsional innovation to achieve sustainable competitiveness and organizational excellence. Industry leaders can leverage  these  practical  implications  to  formulate  management  strategies  centered  on  cultivating  adaptive  digital leadership,  allowing  them  to  transform  rigid  hierarchies  and  consistently  outperform  competitors  in  a  dynamic market.}
