Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of leadership in driving a culture of change in organizations, especially in the Indonesian context. Using a qualitative approach and literature study method, this study explores theories and findings from various scientific sources to understand the relationship between leadership style and principles of culture of change. Data were obtained through a systematic review of books, scientific journals, and research reports in the last 15 years. The results of the study indicate that transformational, participatory, and value-based leadership play a central role in creating an organizational climate that supports change. In addition, cultural principles such as openness, collaboration, and continuous learning are important elements in forming an adaptive organization. The integration of leadership and cultural values not only strengthens the success of structural change but also accelerates the transformation of work behavior and mentality. These findings emphasize the importance of a holistic and contextual change strategy in facing the dynamic challenges of organizations in the modern era.
