Abstract

In the ever-evolving landscape of today's world, the realm of leadership finds itself confronted with a tapestry of intricate challenges, each thread contributing to the fabric of modern leadership style dilemmas. In this study, we aimed to explore the integrated values of Asta Brata’s leadership style within the leadership practices of school principals in Bali Provinces, Indonesia. We employed a phenomenological research design and interviewed a cohort of 50 principals from various elementary schools. We subjected the obtained data to thematic analysis and determined four themes: harmony, transformative inclusivity, professional integrity, and moral responsibility. The findings of this study not only deepen our understanding of leadership values and practices but also offer actionable insights that can benefit both theoretical discourse and practical leadership applications. It underscores the importance of aligning leadership styles with cultural contexts and highlights the potential for enriching leadership development programs through the integration of culturally relevant values.
