This type of research is descriptive in order to explain the aspects of leadership management that are implemented and needed by the two madrasas. The data collection technique for this research is using in-depth interview, participant observation, and documentation study. Data validity techniques used standards of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The data analysis technique was processed by reducing the data (contact summary, coding category, reflection notes, and data sorting) and presented with descriptive narrative exposure. The results showed that the two madrasas under the auspices of Muhammadiyah have implemented an autonomous management model that combines the principles of Islamic education with the concept of modern education in madrasah life. So that the head of madrasah with autonomy has the flexibility to manage madrasah with full mandate in order to achieve the vision of the madrasah, the expectations of citizens, and the goals of national education. The success of this management can be seen from the increasing trust of the community and government in entrusting the education process of the nation's children through these two madrasas to become intelligent and character human beings
