BUILDING LEADERSHIP SKILLS: CASE STUDY OF SUCCESSFUL EDUCATIONAL LEADERS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This case study investigates the development and application of leadership skills among successful educational leaders, highlighting key strategies and practices that contribute to their effectiveness. Through in-depth interviews and analysis of real-life case examples, the research identifies the essential qualities and skills that define successful educational leadership. The study examines the role of emotional intelligence, decision-making, communication, and adaptability in shaping leadership styles and influencing school culture. Additionally, the case study explores the impact of collaborative leadership, including the ways in which leaders empower teachers, engage students, and foster a supportive learning environment. By analyzing the leadership approaches of multiple case study participants—ranging from school principals to district-level administrators—the study uncovers common practices that have led to positive educational outcomes. Findings suggest that successful educational leaders possess a strong vision, the ability to inspire and motivate their teams, and a commitment to ongoing professional growth. Moreover, they demonstrate resilience and innovation in addressing challenges such as resource limitations and changing educational landscapes. The study concludes by offering recommendations for aspiring educational leaders, including the importance of continuous leadership development, reflective practices, and building strong relationships with all stakeholders.
