Abstract: In today's competitive and technology-focused world, organizations need to build a culture of new ideas to do well. Leaders are very important in forming this culture. They affect how employees act, make choices, and adjust to changes. This study looks at how different leadership styles transformational, participative, transactional, autocratic, and laissez-faire change the culture of new ideas in start-ups compared to older companies. We used surveys to collect data and then studied it. This helped us understand leadership choices and their effect on things like making ideas, taking chances, accepting change, sharing information, and using technology. The results show that transformational and participative leadership styles work best for growing a culture of new ideas. This is especially true in start-ups, where quick action and fresh thinking are important. On the other hand, traditional and top-down leadership ways did not help new ideas as much in older companies. This research helps us understand how specific leadership plans can improve new ideas in different company settings and growth stages.
