Digital transformation has intensified the demand for leaders capable of navigating technology driven organisational change. This study examines the impact of digital leadership on employee resilience, team performance, and well being in innovative Nigerian organisations, and investigates the mediating role of employee resilience and the moderating role of organisational innovativeness. A cross sectional survey of 300 employees across five sectors fintech, telecommunications, health technology, media, and e commerce in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt was conducted using validated instruments. Hierarchical multiple regression and bootstrap mediation analyses revealed that digital leadership significantly predicted team performance (β = 0.44, p <.001) and employee well being (β = 0.38, p <.001), with employee resilience partially mediating both relationships. Organisational innovativeness significantly amplified the digital leadership–performance association (ΔR² =.07, p <.001). Findings underscore the strategic importance of digital leadership competencies and resilience building in advancing both human and performance outcomes within Nigeria's rapidly evolving innovation ecosystem.
