Picture Perfect: Competencies of Educational Leaders From Fifteen Selected Colleges and Universities in the Philippines: Towards a Proposed Leadership Model

Abstract

This descriptive study used frequency distribution to rank the data from highest to lowest to determine the level of importance of the competency skills seen on the Leadership Inventory Tool. This Leadership Inventory Tool is a 360-degree assessment tool by Rom Parlakian and Barry Nilbert Seibel (2001). Based on The Practices of Exemplary Leadership Model, the 360-degree assessment illuminates leaders' effectiveness and the level of dedication, engagement, and fulfillment based on its 3 clusters. Data collected from the Leadership Inventory Tool (LIT) was verified through interviews with the selected respondents. It was observed that the competencies with a considerable level of importance are evident in the skills of Having a Great Sense of Urgency and Creating and Leading a Culture of Innovation. Likewise, school leaders shape the culture of their institution to drive innovation. The respondents shared that culture, values, norms, unconscious messages, and subtle behaviors of school leaders and employees often limit performance. The respondents put much importance on the competency skill, Meeting the Staff Regularly. It brings the staff or faculty together. It reminds employees that there is more going on than their issues and deadlines and may see possibilities for mutual support and collaboration. Delegating Tasks becomes the second skill needed in the organization. It saves time for work, develops staff, grooms a successor, and motivates. Celebrating as a Team was emphasized for it builds momentum and boosts the morale of the staff. Thus, a diamond leadership model will be proposed based on the result of the study.
