Style Leadership Transformational in Elementary Schools
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the transformational leadership style applied by the principal at Elementary School Islam Al Fahd and its impact on the school environment. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that the principal plays a central role as a transformational leader by clearly conveying the school's vision and mission, providing inspiration, serving as a role model, and supporting individual development. This leadership style has a positive impact on teacher motivation, innovation in teaching, and the character development of students. However, challenges in implementation include limited resources, resistance to change, and the need for regular evaluation. This study emphasizes the importance of transformational leadership in creating a conducive, innovative, and character- oriented educational environment.
