Abstract


This study investigates the impact of local leadership on government performance through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature. The role of local leadership is crucial in implementing strategic initiatives that foster innovation and enhance public services. Influential local leaders not only develop and execute strategies that align with the community's requirements and the company's goals but also serve as agents for change, promote innovation, and support the necessary organizational changes to adapt to new circumstances. This study examines different facets of local leadership, such as the use of participatory methods in development initiatives, proficient handling of crises during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the contribution to the digital transformation of government. Furthermore, this study highlights the significance of leadership that aligns with local cultural norms, as it can enhance employee motivation and performance by offering inherent incentives and fostering skill growth. Effective leadership enhances good governance, openness, accountability, and community engagement in decision-making processes. This study provides a complete perspective on how local leadership may improve the overall performance of local government by utilizing several leadership models and ideas.
