Artikel ini berupaya untuk menjelaskan tentang pola kepemimpinan Kepala SMP IT Ar-Raihan Bandar Lampung sebagai upaya untuk memajukan sekolahnya di tengah Kota Bandar Lampung. Perolehan data dilalui melalui observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi, setelah itu data diolah dan dianalisis secara kualitatif. Temuannya adalah, bahwa pada aspek kemampuan mempengaruhi guru, kepala sekolah kurang optimal karena masih ada guru yang tidak mengindahkan ketentuan-ketentuan dan aturan yang diarahkan olehnya baik verbal di dalam pertemuan guru maupun poster-poster yang di pasang di lingkungan sekolah, pada aspek keteladanan dalam memotivasi guru sudah terlihat dalam wujud kesehariannya di sekolah sebagai kepala sekolah yang ramah namun tetap disiplin, namun dalam tahapan pengaruh pada diri guru terlihat ada kelemahan pada aspek pemberian reward bagi guru yang disiplin, begitu pula dalam kontrol dan sanksi yang lemah bagi yang kurang disiplin, pada aspek kemampuan dalam menciptakan rasa percaya diri guru masih belum maksimal, hal ini dapat dilihat dari kurangnya kreasi kompetitif guru di luar sekolah baik pada aspek hard skill ataupun soft skill mereka.
