This study examines how transformational leadership can influence the development of innovation-driven universities in Uzbekistan and introduces a conceptual national model adapted to the country’s unique educational and cultural setting. It focuses on how key leadership practices- such as inspiring shared vision, encouraging creative thinking, offering individual support, and leading by example- can enhance institutional innovation and improve academic outcomes. The research adopts a mixed-method design that combines policy analysis, expert interviews, and case studies to explore both the challenges and possibilities of applying transformational leadership principles within higher education management. The proposed model outlines strategic pathways for leadership training, institutional growth, and long-term educational reform at the national level.
