The purpose of this article is to identify the aspects that Mahathir stressed on his first year of office as the 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia. The focus of this study is from the aspect of visionary leadership, namely the vision formation and vision delivery to civil servants through his speeches. This was done by content analyzing Mahathir's five speeches during the YAB Prime Minister's Monthly Meeting with the Public Servants in the Prime Minister's Department (JPM) from May 2018 to May 2019. Themes from the speech texts were analyzed using the NVivo12 qualitative analysis package. The results showed that there were four themes that are often emphasized in Mahathir's speech, namely civil servant responsibility, national recovery, values and loyalty. This study also showed that the combination of these themes formed by Mahathir has its own thoughts in uplifting the spirit of civil servants to restore the country.
