Prepared from solid foreign standards, the opinions of experts and evaluators from various Iraqi and Arab universities were added. A statistical package (SPSS V.28) was adopted, after adopting a number of important statistical tests employed to verify the main hypothesis in calculating: Mean, Standard Deviation, relative Importance, and Coefficient of Variation, research then resorted to multiple linear regression tests to determine most prominent practical outcome of Ministry of Foreign Affairs' direct adoption of Dialectical Leadership to improve its transformational Entrepreneurship.  Ministry was able to adopt (timely adaptation, balancing kindness and rigor, balancing contradictions, enhancing coordination, and comprehensive management) to improve transformational leadership.
