This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership on teachers’ professional competence. The study was conducted using a literature review method by collecting, reviewing, and synthesizing various relevant scientific sources related to transformational leadership and teacher professional development. The research process included topic identification, literature search and selection, and systematic data analysis. The results indicate that transformational leadership has a positive effect on teachers’ professional competence, particularly in improving learning quality, teacher motivation, collaboration, creativity, and continuous professional development. Principals who implement transformational leadership are able to create supportive and adaptive learning environments that encourage teachers to improve their competencies continuously. This finding implies the importance of the principal’s role in supporting teacher professionalism and improving the quality of education continuously.
