      abstract = {Leadership significantly affects employees' motivation and performance. Modern organizations in the fast-changing Indian IT industry require leaders who can inspire and empower teams. This research is going to explore how transformational and servant leadership styles impact employees' intrinsic motivation. Based on the quantitative approach, data was collected using structured questionnaires, and findings indicated that both leadership styles have a positive effect on motivation; transformational leaders enhance creativity and vision, while leaders who apply the principles of a servant leadership style foster trust and emotional well-being. It is underlined that adopting these modern approaches to leadership would strengthen engagement, satisfaction, and eventually overall organizational success.},
