This article analyzes Anies Baswedan's leadership in driving the national literacy campaign during his tenure as Indonesia's Minister of Education and culture from 2014 to 2016. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, with data sources in the form of policy documents, program reports, and literature related to leadership and literacy. The results showed that the transformational leadership style implemented by Anies Baswedan was effective in building a common vision and motivating various stakeholders to actively participate in national literacy programs, especially the School Literacy Movement (GLS).
