PAUD educators hold professional positions, which means they must maintain a high level of professionalism due to their constant interaction with students. The challenges faced by PAUD (Early Childhood Education) educators can hinder the achievement of quality education. The leadership of the PAUD principal plays a significant role in enhancing the quality of educators. This study aims to identify the steps taken by the principal’s transformational leadership to improve educator quality. The research was conducted at Al Irsyad Islamic Kindergarten in Madiun. A qualitative approach was employed, using a case study method. Data collection involved observations, interviews, and documentation. The survey results indicate that enhancing the quality of educators through transformational leadership requires specific steps in leadership transformation. Key actions include determining task priorities, assessing educator readiness, reviewing performance, and formulating a vision. Quality PAUD educators are essential for producing quality students, ultimately contributing to the development of a glorious generation in the future.

Leadership is considered one of the most effective guidance tools in the field of work, and it helps solve many work tasks and complexities. An organization that lacks sound leadership will not have a share of success. The current research aimed to shed light on most of the modern leadership styles in the twenty-first century, such as: smart leadership, digital leadership, creative leadership, positive leadership, transformational leadership, participatory leadership, ethical leadership, servant leadership, sustainable leadership, and enlightened leadership. This was with the aim of explaining these patterns to presidents, managers, and leaders to benefit from them when exercising leadership in the organizations in which they work, and so that they can be guided by these patterns when directing and motivating those working with them to perform the work or tasks required of them efficiently and effectively, and selecting the appropriate ones in light of the nature of the situation, the characteristics of the employees, and the available time and the available and possible of resources. This research was a humility attempt to expand the knowledge and awareness of these presidents, managers, and leaders with modern leadership styles instead of limiting their knowledge and awareness to familiar traditional leadership styles, such as: dictatorial leadership, bureaucratic leadership, anarchic leadership, and democratic leadership. The research also shed light on some negative or anti-leadership styles, such as: negative leadership and destructive leadership as styles that work against the correct and positive concept of leadership and its role in directing employees and the organization and achieving common goals. The current research was considered a type of theoretical library research that relies on a qualitative description of the research topic, as modern leadership styles were discussed through reviewing the scientific literature related to the science and profession of management and in other scientific disciplines, especially the sociology of organizations and psychology in the work environment.

Prior research has emphasized a need for scholarly works investigating millennial instructors' knowledge management (PKM) practices at the individual level within an institution. In addition, there needs to be more research examining the role of organizational learning as a mediator between transformational leadership and personal knowledge management among millennial instructors. This study examines how transformational leadership, ICT literacy, and organizational learning affect personal knowledge management (PKM) among Indonesian school instructors in their 20s and 30s. Another goal is to investigate the function of organizational learning as a mediating factor. We administered questionnaires to 100 teachers at some private Islamic schools in Bengkulu, Indonesia, and evaluated them subsequently using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The results suggest that proficiency in information and communication technology (ICT), the ability to inspire and guide others through transformational leadership, and the presence of a culture that promotes continuous learning within the business all contribute positively to the practice of personal knowledge management (PKM) among instructors from the millennial generation. The study determined that ICT literacy had the most substantial impact on teachers' PKM. Furthermore, organizational learning mediates between transformational leadership and PKM, resulting in a slight rise. These findings have practical consequences for school administrators who aim to increase millennial teachers' information and communication technology (ICT) skills in the region. One way to achieve this is by creating an ICT literacy ecosystem within schools, which will help strengthen the personal knowledge management of these instructors.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the principal's transformational leadership on school performance, as mediated by teachers' work motivation at MTsN 1 Merangin. This study employs a quantitative method as well as explanatory research. Primary data is collected using questionnaires for three relevant variables, while secondary data is gathered from school records, textbooks, and periodicals. The sample employed in this study was non-probability purposive sampling, with a total of 51 teachers. Smart PLS v.3 software runs the PLS-SEM data analysis algorithms. This study found that the principal's transformative leadership had a considerable positive direct effect on teacher performance (coefficient 0.208, t-count 1.660, a standard deviation 0.126, p-value 0.045 < 0.05). It demonstrates that transformational principle leadership has a substantial impact on teacher performance. The principal's transformational leadership has a considerable direct and beneficial effect on teachers’ motivation (coefficient 0.675, t-count 12.979, a standard deviation 0.05, p-value 0.000 < 0.05. It indicates a significant effect of transformative leadership on teacher motivation. Next, there was a considerable beneficial direct influence of teachers' motivation on teacher performance (coefficient 0.634, t-count 5.574, a standard deviation 0.114, p-value 0.000 < 0.05). It indicates a statistically significant influence of teacher motivation on performance. Last, motivation can operate as a mediator (coefficient 0.428, standard deviation 0.087, t-count 4.888, p-value 0.000 < 0.05). motivation mediates transformational leadership to teacher performance. So, the school principal was encouraged to have more intellectual stimulation, care, and inspire teachers, as well as other indicators of transformational leadership, to boost teacher motivation and performance.

Islam is a comprehensive religion that does not discuss one aspect of knowledge but covers all aspects, including leadership. Islamic leadership must be based on the pillars of Islam, namely the Qur'an and Hadith. Islamic leaders must work towards a vision to create a just society where the rule of law is upheld among all believers and non-believers. In the context of Islam in Western countries, leadership faced many challenges during the early years of the 21st century. These challenges can come from internal organizational challenges, such as social, cultural, and structural challenges. However, challenges arise from external contexts, such as social, cultural, legal, and political. In Islamic economic philosophy, the leadership model that is considered ideal is one based on fair and ethical leadership principles. This qualitative research aims to explain and redesign the transformational leadership theory with Islamic leadership. The study results are four characteristics that can influence transformational Islamic leadership: government pressure, media hostility, international politics, and a legal system. The impact of international politics unites the Muslim population to some extent. Australia's Muslim population hails from many countries, including a significant group born and raised in Australia. As a result, the Muslim population in Australia is a minority in an international context.

This study entails an exploratory investigation of transformative leadership in the context of waqf institutions. In analysing the transformational leadership style, the study interviewed the heads of the State Islamic Religious Councils in charge of waqf institutions in Malaysia. The best practices in the two waqf institutions were found to fall under four areas related to transformational leadership: idealised influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualised consideration. The four categories were generated from three sub-categories, bringing the overall total to 12 sub-categories. The findings demonstrate the applicability of transformational leadership in waqf institutions, where it fosters employee inspiration, contentment, and creativity. In addition, this study adds to the body of knowledge as there are not many previous investigations on transformational leadership in the setting of waqf institutions. Waqf sector leaders can use this study's practical application to comprehend, apply, practice and evaluate transformational leadership in accomplishing the objectives of their respective waqf institutions.
