This study explores how transformational leadership impacts key metrics such as job satisfaction, engagement levels, and collaboration effectiveness. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the research examines pre- and post-implementation data to highlight measurable improvements in retention and engagement. Show actionable insights, this study aims to guide leaders and HR professionals in creating strategies that leverage transformational leadership to build resilient, engaged, and high-performing teams.
