Objective: The development of the digital public sphere has transformed interactions between leaders and society while creating challenges related to ethics, integrity, and public trust. This study aims to examine the concept of good, clean, and authoritative leadership in the digital era and identify ethical and integrity challenges faced by leaders in the virtual public sphere. Method: This study employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach through a literature review. Secondary data were obtained from scientific journals, academic books, official institutional reports, and relevant publications and were analyzed using content and thematic analysis. Results: The analysis identified five main themes: clean and authoritative leadership, ethics and integrity in digital spaces, integrity in building public trust, digital leadership (e-leadership), and the relevance of leadership to National Defense. The findings indicate that moral integrity, communication ethics, digital literacy, and behavioral consistency are essential elements in building public trust. Conclusion: Ethical digital leadership requires the integration of technological competence and moral integrity. Strengthening these aspects is necessary to maintain leadership legitimacy and support society's moral resilience in addressing misinformation, disinformation, and polarization in digital spaces.
