Abstract

Visionary leadership is a style of leadership that is believed to consistently facilitate the enhancement of educational quality. In addition, a visionary leader must also possess the capacity to motivate their colleagues to maintain enthusiasm at work, remain alert to changes, and uphold standards within the educational institution they lead. The objective of this study is to ascertain whether the SMP Negeri 47 Seram Bagian Timur school adheres to visionary leadership principles and, if so, how it does so. This study employs a qualitative research design, which is intended to facilitate an in-depth exploration and clarification of the phenomenon under investigation. The research methodology is structured to describe the variables that are pertinent to the problem being studied. Qualitative research is concerned with the meaning, construction, and complexity of the social phenomena under study. The findings revealed that the Head of SMP Negeri 47 Seram Bagian Timur is among the most visionary principals, as evidenced by their approach, which begins with a comprehensive observation of both the social and school environments. Secondly, a meeting of the teaching council was held to formulate a comprehensive concept of the school's vision for the forthcoming period. Third, the head of the community must be socialized. Finally, the fourth step is to evaluate the achievement of the vision that has been made. These steps require tenacity and wisdom from a visionary leader because these steps cannot be taken without adequate competence.
