Hierarchical organizational frameworks. Such models are particularly vulnerable to the reality of spiritual degradation among both church leaders and congregations. In contrast, within a Pentecostal pneumatological perspective, leadership is understood as a manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s work, which is dynamic, active, inclusive, and transformative within the society, it cannot be separated from the spirituality of the Holy Spirit itself. This article aims to identify the relevance of the pneumatocratic leadership model, which positions the work of the Holy Spirit at the center of ecclesial leadership as the primary driving force across various aspects of life, with universal implications for society in the contemporary era. Utilizing a library research method, this article analyzes the characteristics and implications of pneumatocratic leadership as a transformational leadership model. The superiority of this pneumatological model lies in its charismatic, gift-based leadership within the church and the broader contemporare society. This article demonstrates that the pneumatocratic leadership model does not rely solely on structural power but is grounded in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, whose implications extend universally. Therefore, pneumatocratic leadership offers an alternative paradigm that is highly relevant for both the church and contemporary society in addressing the holistic challenges of pluralism, secularism, and the dynamics of global contemporare development.AbstrakKepemimpinan memiliki peran yang sangat signifikan dalam setiap organisasi.
