Abstract


This study aims to analyze the role of transformational leadership in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the village level, especially in Gowa Regency. The SDGs are a global development agenda that aims to address the social, economic, and environmental challenges faced by the world today. This study uses a qualitative approach with a focus on Inspirational Motivation as a component of transformational leadership. This study uses a qualitative research method with a case study approach. Primary data was obtained through interviews with various related parties, such as village heads, members of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), village government officials, and village communities. Secondary data is also used to support primary data analysis. Data analysis was performed using data collection techniques, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that transformational leadership with the application of Inspirational Motivation has a positive influence in achieving the SDGs at the village level. Village heads who effectively implement Inspirational Motivation use various strategies, such as providing information disclosure to the community, forming a WhatsApp group to communicate, paying attention to the performance of village officials, and maintaining good communication with the BPD. In certain cases, obstacles in communicating with the BPD can become obstacles in achieving village development goals.
