The Leadership of Educational Institution Administrators Effective Organizational Development

Abstract

This article aims to present the concept of leadership in school administration and its impact on effective organizational development. Nowadays, it is widely believed that leaders are not born but made through various factors within an organization. Leadership can be built by using knowledge, abilities, and perseverance until the person is accepted by the organization as a leader. Therefore, it is essential to establish a relationship based on mutual influence between leaders and followers or subordinates with a goal of effecting change by reflecting shared objectives. Leadership involves the use of influence among groups of people who intend to cause change, making leaders and executives’ distinct roles. Executives are positions that are established within an organization and are authorized by position, expected to focus on control and decision-making. However, leaders exhibit the characteristics of leadership at any level and may be empowered by other means to play a broader role than the executive role. Leaders focus on group process, information gathering, giving feedback, and exercising power against others. Therefore, leadership is a critical factor in the management process itself. Leaders need to be both an art and a science, which are critical to the success of an organization, especially in the leadership of school administrators. School administrators lead the organization towards progress and unity to achieve common goals. Leadership is like a personal weapon of the executives, and leaders who are professional managers create influence and influence others. The achievement and efficiency of work determines or measures the leadership of school administrators.
