Abstract

Effective leadership is one of the key factors in improving the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia, especially amidst increasingly tight competition. In Kendari City, many MSMEs still face challenges in implementing innovative leadership styles, especially transformational ones. This study identifies a knowledge gap related to the understanding and application of transformational leadership among MSME leaders. The methodology used in this study is in-depth interviews with MSME owners and managers to explore their experiences and views on transformational leadership. This study's implications indicate that applying transformational leadership can improve MSME performance and create a more innovative work environment.
