Leadership is associated with the traits and characteristics of the leader, where in the educational and business environment a new type of leadership is being demanded: charismatic, visionary, transformative and flexible, which is exercised in a shared way with the members of an organisation. As a result, there is a greater demand for changes that tend to distribute power, giving strength to institutions and the management success of a leader in an organisation. This research focused on transformational leadership as a strategy to optimise the technical-administrative management of the management staff at the Tinaquillo UNELLEZ; transformational leaders know the emotional needs of their subordinates and stimulate them intellectually. The results showed that it is necessary to propose changes in relation to the leadership style of management staff, so that in this way they can promote more efficient and effective work and results aimed at achieving excellence in administrative management.
