Abstract

The paper investigates the impact of various leadership styles on faculty development within the context of higher education institutions. It explores how different leadership approaches, such as transactional, transformational, and servant leadership, influence faculty members' growth, motivation, and job satisfaction. Through a comprehensive literature review and case studies, the study highlights the significance of aligning leadership styles with the specific needs and goals of academic staff. The analysis reveals that a balanced blend of leadership styles can foster a positive and supportive work environment, encourage innovation, and enhance teaching and research outcomes. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the need for continuous professional development programs tailored to facilitate faculty growth, which can be facilitated through effective leadership practices. The findings suggest that leadership styles play a critical role in shaping the overall academic culture and the success of faculty development initiatives.
