Introduction

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the integration of transformational leadership, sustainable entrepreneurship, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a critical imperative for organizations worldwide. The importance of these sectors cannot be overstated, as they not only shape the way businesses operate, but also affect their impact on society and the environment. Transformational leadership is considered to be necessary to navigate the current complex and uncertain business environment. Leaders are seen as instrumental in driving innovation, fostering agility, and influencing organizational resilience in the face of disruption. Exploring transformational leadership is critical to filling existing gaps in organizational effectiveness, as it addresses the need for leaders who can inspire innovation, foster adaptation, and drive meaningful change. In the same way, sustainable entrepreneurship has gained significant attention due to its potential to address global challenges while driving economic growth. Environmental and social aspects are crucial for entrepreneurs to address urgent issues while driving economic growth. Sustainable entrepreneurs innovate business models that prioritize profit as well as environmental and social impact, paving the way for resilient, future-ready businesses that contribute positively to society and the planet. In this context, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a focal point of business strategy to respond to the expectations of various stakeholders and their increasing demand for responsible behavior. Companies perceived as socially responsible can enjoy greater trust, loyalty and positive brand reputation among consumers and other stakeholders. CSR aligns business practices with social and environmental needs, fostering trust, loyalty and long-term sustainability. By integrating CSR into their strategies, enterprises can enhance credibility, reduce risks, and create shared value for all stakeholders, contributing to a more sustainable world.
