Abstract

In the change agenda launched in any institution and anywhere, the role of leadership is always important for achieving the change goals. In the context of the change agenda being rolled out in the Village, the role of Leadership is very large in achieving the goals of change. This article intends to explore in more depth the role of leadership about the experience of the process of Pujon Kidul Village transforming into a Pujon Kidul Tourism Village and then maintaining its sustainability so that it can become a Tourism Village that is not only advanced but also sustainable. The research results show that the effectiveness of a leadership style is largely determined by the extent to which the leader can apply a leadership style that is adaptive to the situation. In the context of the change agenda launched in Pujon Kidul Village, the community leadership model is the appropriate leadership model to be implemented accompanied by transformational leadership and servant leadership models. Above all, the leadership model used must also synchronize with local wisdom.
