      abstract = {This study presents a descriptive case analysis of the digital leadership practices implemented within the Agricultural Training Division of a national government agency in Central Luzon. As digital transformation becomes increasingly vital in enhancing public service delivery, understanding how government institutions lead and adapt to technological changes is essential, particularly in sectors such as agriculture where training services are significant. The research investigates how digital leadership is implemented within the training division, examining six core competencies: embracing digital, facilitating the digital drive, digital adaptiveness and resilience, cultivating a digital culture, digital skills, and digital competitive intelligence. Data were collected through structured survey questionnaires administered to personnel directly involved in agricultural training services. The findings aim to provide insights into the effectiveness of current digital leadership practices, the perceptions of staff, and the key challenges faced in the digital transformation process. The study contributes to the broader understanding of digital leadership within public agricultural institutions and offers recommendations for enhancing leadership frameworks to support sustainable and technology driven capacity building in the agricultural sector..},
