The Village Head as a head of the lower level of government at the village level must be able to carry out his duties, so that later good village governance can be realized. In realizing it requires the ability of the leader and the right communication style so that good village governance can be achieved. The purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate the effect of leader ability on good village governance, and to analyze and evaluate the effect of communication style on good village governance using a case study approach of Jeblogan village as the research location. This research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 115 respondents with the research population being all Jeblogan villagers who were aged 15 to 70 years and had been in contact with the Jeblogan Village Head to examine the effect of independent variables (leader ability and communication style) on the dependent variable (good village governance). The method used in this research is Structural Equation Modeling with second order CFA with data processing using Smart-PLS 3 software. 

The findings of this study indicate that the leader ability and communication style variables on the implementation of good village governance produce a construct R2 value of 0.668, which means that the two variables have an effect with a percentage of 66.8%. Furthermore, the results of the f2 test on the communication style are greater than the leader's ability, which means that the Village Head and the Jeblogan Village government officials must further improve the good and appropriate communication methods to the Jeblogan village community so that later the implementation of good village governance can be more easily achieved. This is important because the communication style variable is known to have a greater influence on the implementation of good village governance than the leader's ability variable.
