Using a qualitative approach, this study identifies factors that influence the effectiveness of leadership in facilitating innovation in various industrial sectors. This study finds that inclusive and participatory leadership tends to foster a culture of innovation, while challenges in HR management often become obstacles. These findings are expected to provide insights for leaders and HR managers in designing more effective strategies to foster innovation in their organizations.
