General Background Educational institutions face continuous global dynamics and social changes requiring innovative leadership strategies to maintain high educational standards and navigate challenges such as educator turnover. Specific Background This research investigates the implementation of transformational leadership dimensions—including idealized influence, individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, and inspirational motivation—at Antawirya Islamic Javanese School in Sidoarjo. Knowledge Gap Previous literature lacks comprehensive empirical insight into how specific behavioral dimensions of school leadership collectively restructure institutional programs and mitigate human resource losses in private elementary school settings. Aims This research aims to describe the implementation of the transformational leadership model as a revitalization of teacher performance and organizational commitment at Antawirya Elementary School. Results The qualitative findings demonstrate that the principal's transformational approach successfully cultivates a participatory and productive environment, where idealized influence enhances decision-making participation, inspirational motivation through monthly evaluations increases staff morale and student enrollment, intellectual stimulation fosters creative teaching programs, and individualized consideration through targeted supervision uncovers hidden talents and elevates the school's accreditation score. Novelty The systematic application of four core transformational dimensions directly bridges strategic school visions with practical teacher task reforms to secure long-term institutional stability and professional growth. Implications These findings indicate that adopting structured transformational leadership practices provides a viable framework for elementary schools to sustain teacher loyalty, optimize educational quality, and achieve sustainable institutional goals. Highlights: Principal leadership strategies successfully reshape measurable school programs and foster collaborative teacher participation. Individualized task reforms and continuous professional development uncover hidden educator talents to elevate institutional accreditation. Inspirational monthly evaluations and autonomous project assignments generate positive, dynamic performance and boost new student enrollment.
