Leadership style has been emphasized as one of the most important infrastructural decisions influences on firm innovation. This article examines the effect of transformational leadership on the innovation manufacturing objective in supply chain. We used five dimensions of transformational leadership, Transformational leadership items were adapted from measures produced by House (1998) and Podsakoff et al. (1990), and Five item reported by Miltenburg (1995) were adapted to assess innovation manufacturing objective. Items were chosen on the basis of how well they assessed the theoretical construct under study (firm and supply chain). A linear regression model from relationship between variables developed and then tested. 455 questionnaires were distributed across part manufacturers of automobile, and 370 managers responded. The results indicated that dimension of inspirational communication, supportive leadership and personal recognition have significant positive effect on innovativeness. Vision have not significant effect. Intellectual stimulation has a weakly significant negative effect on the innovation manufacturing objective. Then, discussion and conclusion present, and finally, express limitations and purposes express.
