<![CDATA[This research aims to analyze how mathematical proficiency influences the leadership capabilities of engineers, as well as to offer insights to industry practitioners, educators, and policymakers in fostering a generation of future leaders equipped with both technical skills and strategic competencies within the Leadership paradigm of the DU/DI (Industrial and Vocational World). Mathematical principles, encompassing logic, patterns, and structures, have the potential to be applied in strategic decision-making processes, systematic planning, and in-depth analysis. In the context of leadership oriented toward the DU/DI philosophy, a leader's Mathematical Competence can enhance the quality of data-driven decision-making, optimize efficient planning, and improve resource management effectiveness. The method employed in this study is a literature review, utilizing an analytical approach to various relevant scientific sources.The research findings indicate that Mathematical Competence in Vocational Technology Education leadership has a significant impact. These principles enable leaders to optimally allocate resources, minimize inefficiencies, and strengthen resource utilization effectiveness. Additionally, mathematical approaches provide a systematic framework for managing complexity in measured decision-making processes. This study contributes to theoretical insights on the synergy between mathematics and DU/DI leadership, while offering a conceptual foundation to enhance leadership quality by integrating rational and humanistic aspects. The results of this research have theoretical and practical implications, which can serve as a foundation for designing a more effective, rational, and humanistic DU/DI leadership model. To broaden the scope of these findings, further research is recommended, particularly focusing on empirical testing of the effectiveness of mathematical competence in DU/DI leadership contexts and analyzing its long-term impacts in greater depth]]>
