Technical leadership in highly complex projects represents one of the greatest contemporary challenges in the management of global industrial systems. The advancement of automation technologies, the growing integration of value chains, and the intensification of interdependence between different sectors demand the work of technical leaders capable of coordinating multiple dimensions: technical, human, cultural, and strategic. This article analyzes, from an academic and intellectual perspective, the fundamentals of technical leadership applied to industrial systems integration projects, highlighting its role as a central axis in organizational transformation. More than technical experts, these leaders are knowledge brokers, complexity managers, and agents of innovation, playing a fundamental role in ensuring efficiency, resilience, and competitiveness on a global scale.
