This study discusses various leadership approaches that affect organizational performance and human resource development. In this context, the two main approaches analyzed are behavioral and transformational approaches. The behavioral approach focuses on the behavior patterns of leaders which are divided into four systems, ranging from authoritarian exploitation to participative. Meanwhile, the transformational approach emphasizes the ability of leaders to empower their subordinates through changes in values, beliefs, and needs, with the aim of leading the organization towards future success. This study also explores various types of leadership, such as charismatic, paternalistic, militaristic, autocratic, laissez faire, populist, administrative, and democratic, each of which has different characteristics and influences in leading an organization. The concept of effective leadership is considered key to building and maintaining a healthy corporate culture, which in turn can improve overall organizational performance. In the context of sports management, leadership also plays an important role in building character and social skills through sports. The conclusion of this study shows that good leadership can have a positive impact on the organization, by building good relationships between leaders and subordinates and creating a conducive working atmosphere to achieve common goals.
