ABSTRACT: The evolving landscape of organizational leadership necessitates exploring how transformational leadership can be adapted and embraced in contemporary settings. This research investigates whether leaders are receptive to a new “CALL”—Challenges, Adaptation, Leadership, and Learning—in the context of transformational leadership. As organizations face rapid changes and increasing demands for innovation, it is crucial to understand how leaders respond to these challenges and adjust their leadership styles. The study utilizes a qualitative approach, conducting interviews with leaders from various sectors. The research aims to identify key challenges leaders face, how they adapt their strategies, and the learning processes they undertake to foster transformational change. By examining these dimensions, the study not only provides insights into the practical implications of transformational leadership but also offers recommendations for leaders striving to effectively navigate and lead in a dynamic environment. Findings from this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of leaders’ readiness and ability to embrace transformational practices and adapt to emerging challenges. Ultimately, the study aims to enhance leadership development programs and support organizations in cultivating leaders equipped to drive sustainable and impactful change.
