AbstractThis study aims to analyze the communication techniques employed by the leadership of Pondok Pesantren Modern Daarul Muhsinin Janjimanaan Kawat Labuhanbatu in shaping the leadership character of students through the "Catur Mantap" program consisting of four core aspects: Mantap Ibadahku, Mantap Akhlakku, Mantap Belajarku, and Mantap Bahasaku. Utilizing a qualitative field research approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that pesantren leaders apply multi-strategic communication techniques, including interpersonal, group, symbolic, and instructional communication. These approaches align with both Islamic communication principles shidq (truthfulness), tabligh (clarity in message), amanah (trustworthiness), and fathonah (wisdom) and modern communication theory, especially DeVito's effective communication model (openness, empathy, supportiveness, positivity, and equality). The communication strategies were proven to be effective in building emotional bonds, enhancing student participation, and internalizing moral and spiritual values. Moreover, they serve as transformative tools in character education and leadership development. This study contributes to the practical and theoretical understanding of Islamic educational leadership communication and offers a replicable model for other Islamic institutions.
