one of the leadership styles produced by scientific progress, which is appropriate for
many sectors, including the Aqaba Special Economic Zone. The transformational
leader adopts various behaviors to satisfy the needs Employees, to strive to exceed
the minimum requirements of work and provide creative ideas and support to those
who work with them (Al-Balushi, 2019).
The best leaders pay a lot of attention to designing the elements around them, so the
design of transformational leadership needs an integrated set of practices that build
the organization's ability to change and the ability to perform, and to develop and
maintain this ability, it is necessary to integrate four basic elements together which
are (leadership attractiveness, inspiring motivation, and encouragement) Creative,
individual interest) that can propel the organization forward. Transformational
leadership focuses on agility, which is the key to improving performance in a
dynamic business environment and rapid changes because it enables the
organization to make sudden changes and take advantage of opportunities in a
turbulent job market as it is necessary for the survival and continuity of business
organizations operating in an environment characterized by rapid change (Mezher,
2017). And that strategic agility enables the organization to quickly and effectively
respond to the fluctuations of the environment, which allows it to establish a
superior competitive position and is of dual importance for the organization required
from two sides within the organization with the aim of understanding the basic
competencies and the second outside the organization to clearly know the
surrounding environment (Al-Mousawi, 2018). Brueller, Carmeli, & Drori (2014)
points to the importance of strategic agility as a fundamental means of
organizational growth, and the ways in which key growth mechanisms such as
mergers and acquisitions help build this capacity remain elusive and this article
highlights the differences between platform acquisitions. Acquisitions of these
different forms and acquisitions can enhance strategic agility in distinct ways over
different time horizons. When properly managed, acquisitions can enhance the
gradual build-up of the capabilities underlying strategic agility.

(Al-Badrani, 2015) believes that strategic agility is the ability of the organization to
move quickly and easily to achieve a response to changing unexpected situations.
Strategy, collective commitment and responsibility, and the flow and direction of all
kinds of resources that represent core dimensions of strategic agility.
Both (Tabe, & Nematizadeh, S. 2017) considered strategic agility as a concept
consisting of two components: response and knowledge management. Respond
quickly by regrouping strategic resources and operations.
