Abstract

The aim of this research is to identify the expected achievements of transformational global leadership in the extraterritorial activities of the Ministry of Energy in Iran. For this purpose, a qualitative method with an exploratory approach was used, and data was collected from 15 managers who were selected through purposive sampling.The method of analyzing the collected data was thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the expected achievements of this leadership style at the organizational level encompass the achievement of the organizational vision and global objectives of the Ministry of Energy, the realization of its scientific goals, and the fulfillment of its economic objectives. At extra-organizational level, it includes achieving higher national income, sustainable development, and enhanced national security. Awareness of these achievements, which are explained based on the requirements, goals, and global missions of the Ministry of Energy, encourages the managers of this organization to consider transformational global leadership as an effective solution for addressing the challenges and issues ahead.This awareness can also have a significant impact on the decision-making of senior managers at the Ministry of Energy regarding the attraction, selection, and development of leadership talents within this organization.
