The leadership of competent persons can be advantageous for educators and society. The phenomenon of globalisation and the presence of competitive forces in the 21st century have heightened the demand for an exceptional educational leader in educational institutions worldwide. To successfully execute pedagogical and cultural reforms, principals should prioritize three essential aspects: enhancing student engagement, articulating the school's mission, and enacting constructive transformations. Education leaders are highly regarded if they possess the requisite abilities to enhance classroom teaching in response to contemporary technological advancements.
