The managerial thought is evolving and developing to adapt itself with new challenges both cultural and technological to meet different needs of the company. Today, the leader is characterized by his capacity to be in interaction with his environment to serve it better. Through a qualitative study and based on seven interviews conducted with superior person in charge of the Lebanese Public Sector, this article searches to analyze how the role of the leaders of public sector evolves in view of technological transformations resulting from the adoption and the diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) in their institutions. To face these new technological challenges, the person in charge of the public sector must exceed his role of a traditional manager to the role of a transformational leader. Hence the necessity of an adaptation, and a mutation in the organizational structure to give an intermediary role to the computer scientists specialist of data and information in the public institutions.
