Abstract

Transformational leadership is a leadership approach that is oriented towards empowering individuals, increasing motivation, and strengthening innovation in teams. This literature study aims to analyze how transformational leadership affects team performance across different industry sectors and organizational environments. The results showed that transformational leaders who provide inspiration, emotional support, and build a shared vision were able to significantly improve teamwork effectiveness. It also encourages increased collaboration, adaptability to change, and continuous innovation within the team. Despite its many benefits, the implementation of transformational leadership faces various challenges, including resource limitations, resistance to change, as well as variations in the individual characteristics of team members. Systematic strategies are needed, such as strengthening organizational culture that supports learning, empowering individuals, and more effective communication. Transformational leadership can be a catalyst for improving team performance and achieving organizational goals more effectively with optimal implementation.
