Data analysis followed the stages of data collection, condensation, display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources, methods, and time. The findings indicate that the principal’s transformational leadership effectively optimizes the learning community. Inspirational motivation strengthens collaboration and collective commitment, idealized influence builds trust and professional ethics, intellectual stimulation promotes innovation and lifelong learning, and individualized consideration supports mentoring and personal development. The integration of these dimensions creates a collaborative, reflective, and sustainable learning community that enhances the quality of learning.
