Leadership and its impact on the challenges of higher education

Abstract

Leadership can be defined as the ability of a leader to influence his employees,

in such a way that they cooperate and contribute to the efforts oriented towards

the realization of the goals of the educational institution. One of the challenges

of the institutions, implemented in the market, is the selection of leaders who will

represent the mission and vision of the educational institution.

The vision and mission of an institution should be represented by a leader with

a contemporary outlook, who conveys to employees an inspiring and collaborative

organizational behavior.

One of the concerns of institutions in recent years is the inefficient and inefficient

organization of work. Therefore, the current leaders, who enjoy this status, must leave

these wrong structures, in order to create harmony and organization among their

subordinates. Organizing work with deadlines and division of tasks according to the

specializations of the employee, will bring productivity and achieve objectives in a

timely manner.

In the conditions of comprehensive changes of society, economy and politics,

throughout the process of democratization and the prospects of EU membership,

higher education in Albania is in constant transformation and reform from a statecontrolled

system to a liberalized higher education.
