Abstract. This study aims to determine the role and impact of transformational leadership in
creating good governance in sub-district government. The method used is descriptive
quantitative, with a sample of 31 respondents. Data collection techniques used in this study were
observation, questionnaires, literature studies, and interviews. The collected data is processed
using a frequency table. The results showed that the role of transformational leadership in
creating good governance in sub-district government is categorized as useful. The most certain
thing is if the leader can provide training for officials (facilitation). The impact of
transformational leadership in creating good governance is that apparatus compliance increases
both to leadership in the sub-district government. The impact is seen from the collaboration of
the authorities when serving as well as the moral leaders of the apparatus when serving the
community. Therefore, this study suggests that leaders often provide training and act as
facilitators in an activity.
