摘要:Educational institutions need clearer directions for all organization members. Organizations need people to be able to set the direction forward, spread it to all organization members, direct people to achieve goals, build networks with other institutions, provide incentives, motivate, and give awards to outstanding subordinates. People able to do such things are called visionary leaders. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the visionary leadership strategy in advancing educational institutions in order to create a perfect human being able to solve the challenges of the times. This research uses a qualitative approach with library research methods. Data sources were obtained from books, research results, journals, and scientific information related to visionary leadership strategy. The results show that visionary leadership is felt as an urgent need for educational institutions in order to be able to realize progressive educational institutions as well as to be the center of attention and public expectations.
