This study aims to examine the role of principal leadership based on Professional Learning Community (PLC) and its impact on teacher performance through a literature review method. The research employed a qualitative approach by reviewing various scientific journals, articles, and relevant literature related to principal leadership, professional learning communities, and teacher performance. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify, compare, and interpret findings from previous studies. The results indicate that principal leadership plays a significant role in improving teacher performance through instructional leadership, the creation of a positive work climate, and the implementation of democratic and participative leadership styles. Furthermore, the implementation of a Professional Learning Community enhances teachers’ professional competence through collaborative activities, knowledge sharing, and reflective practices. Although several challenges exist, such as limited time and administrative workload, principal leadership based on a professional learning community has been proven to positively influence teacher performance and improve the quality of education in schools.
