Introduction/Objective: A transformational leader means originating and stimulating positive change in their followers. These leaders are not only involved and focused on the progress of each follower, but also on building a flexible organizational culture. The study sought to determine how the application of a transformational leadership program improves the organizational culture of the Provincial Municipality of Huaura, Peru.

Methodology: Quantitative study, experimental design with pretest-posttest and control group, and explanatory scope. Data were collected through a pre- and post-test. The sample was random and included 60 workers of this entity, who were distributed in two groups of 30 elements each and were administered a 20-question questionnaire.

Results: According to the Mann-Whitney U statistic, it was found that in the pretest the perception of organizational culture obtained a value of 0.216 higher than the theoretical Sig. (α = 0.05); however, after administering the program, in the posttest, the perception of the entity’s culture was 0.000 lower than the theoretical Sig.

Conclusions: It was confirmed that the administration of a transformational leadership program significantly improved the organizational culture in the institution under study, since it contributed to the employees’ commitment to their work and the institution, to the sharing of new values and the assumption of better policies to face changing environments, as well as to innovate and accept risks, and to orient themselves as a team towards results.
