How Leaders Function in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

Higher education institutions are frequently regarded as elegant organizations. However, conflicts still arise, necessitating the development of strategies by leaders to resolve them. The purpose of this study was to describe how leadership functions in higher education institutions. The methodology was qualitative phenomenological. The results discovered that leadership emerged as a result of organizational conflict. The spirit of leadership develops and grows as a result of resolving conflict personally, comprehending corporate culture, and having a plan for leading the organization. In conclusion, if the leaders have dedication and voluntarism, the organization will endure and find a way to accomplish goals.
