This paper investigates the effect of transformational leadership on organizational performance, using Huawei as a case study. As companies grow and aim for increased output, effective leadership plays a crucial role in enabling staff members to accomplish common objectives. Transformational leadership is a vital component in creating an atmosphere that is favorable to constructive and flexible changes, as it is distinguished by its capacity to increase followers' self-assurance and motivation beyond self-interest. The research demonstrates how Huawei's visionary leadership has given a clear strategic direction and inspired a sense of purpose and commitment among employees through an analysis of the company's 2023 Annual Report. A culture of constant innovation has been fostered by the emphasis on intellectual stimulation, as shown by the large R&D investments and the large number of patents. Personalized attention to staff development has also improved job satisfaction and loyalty, which has aided in the success of the organization as a whole. The results highlight how crucial transformational leadership is for negotiating the complexities of the technology industry and attaining long-term success. This study offers insightful information about how transformational leadership can be successfully applied to enhance organizational performance in the technology sector by analyzing Huawei's experience.
