THE ROLE OF STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP IN STRENGTHENING TEAM PERFORMANCE AND SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE FOR BUSINESS GROWTH

In an increasingly volatile and digitally transforming business environment, organizations are required to develop adaptive supply chain systems supported by high-performing teams and effective leadership frameworks to sustain long-term growth. This study examines the role of strategic leadership in strengthening team performance and enhancing supply chain resilience for improving overall business outcomes. A quantitative research design was employed using data collected from 214 managerial and operational personnel across procurement, logistics, finance, and analytics units within medium- to large-scale enterprises. Strategic leadership effectiveness was evaluated using indicators such as vision alignment, stakeholder coordination, and decision-making efficiency, while team performance and supply chain resilience were assessed through collaboration indices, disruption recovery time, and demand forecasting accuracy. The results reveal that strategic leadership significantly improves team performance, which in turn enhances supply chain resilience and contributes to measurable business growth outcomes such as revenue expansion and operational cost optimization. Structural Equation Modeling further confirms the indirect influence of leadership on business growth through team-driven resilience mechanisms. These findings highlight the importance of integrating leadership practices with operational adaptability, particularly within analytics-driven consulting environments, to achieve sustainable enterprise performance in uncertain market conditions.
