Abstract
Leadership is a fundamental and universal human task, necessary for collective organisation, innovation, and achievement in all cultures. This research explores the multidimensional nature of leadership, beginning with its broad definition as a crucial component in human growth. It presents the concept of value-driven leadership and emphasises its profound relationship to the human capacity for excellence through principles such as self-reflection, balanced perspective, true self-confidence, and authentic humility. The study also investigates how different leadership styles influence organisational output and performance, highlighting the nuanced efficacy of approaches such as transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership. This is qualitative research using grounded theory. The report analyses Islamic transformational leadership, demonstrating its unique but highly applicable paradigm. This method, founded on holistic, ethically grounded values such as fairness, trust, and deliberation, and drawing directly from the Quran and Hadith, has profoundly affected society's evolution throughout history, providing a compelling paradigm for current concerns. This expanded section goes into further detail about the essential traits of Islamic transformational leadership, which are supported by Islamic scriptural guidance and include creativity, appreciation, teaching, responsibility, recognition, kindness, generosity, respect, perseverance, compassion, empathy, consultation, ethical behaviour, active listening, and empowerment
