Data analysis was done using Excel. The main hypotheses were examined using regression, ANOVA, and t-tests. According to the findings, there are numerous important effects of digital leadership on teachers' performance. Digital leaders enable teachers to embrace technology, improve their digital literacy, support pedagogical innovations, develop collaboration, and create a positive digital culture through their vision, encouragement, and facilitation. Educational institutions can develop a cadre of empowered instructors who can successfully navigate the digital landscape and get pupils ready for the needs of the 21st century by recognizing the significance of digital leadership.
