El liderazgo constituye una habilidad esencial en las organizaciones contemporáneas, permitiendo generar estrategias innovadoras y facilitar la toma de decisiones. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la importancia del liderazgo como factor determinante en la innovación organizacional. El estudio se desarrolló durante el periodo 2015-2024, utilizando una revisión narrativa y analítica con diseño documental. Se consultaron cuatro bases de datos académicas (Google Scholar, Redalyc, SciELO y Dialnet) mediante operadores booleanos (AND, OR), identificándose 45 documentos seleccionados tras aplicar criterios de inclusión. Los términos de búsqueda incluyeron: «liderazgo transformacional», «innovación organizacional» y «estilo de liderazgo». Los resultados evidencian que el liderazgo transformacional constituye el estilo más efectivo para impulsar la innovación organizacional, facilitando la toma de decisiones, el trabajo en equipo y culturas colaborativas. Las conclusiones subrayan la necesidad de que las organizaciones inviertan en el desarrollo de líderes capaces de inspirar y gestionar el cambio.
