Synopsis

Numerous books have been written about leadership in higher education. But this book adopts a different approach since it goes beyond the leadership ideas that have typically been emphasised in earlier publications. This book places these theories in context by referencing experiences from Malaysia's higher education institutions. Additionally, it includes contemporary research on academic leadership at Malaysian higher education institutions that was done using both quantitative and qualitative methods. As they carry out their academic leadership positions in Malaysia HEIs, leaders in higher education institutions should follow the advice provided in this compilation of experiences from Malaysia. The experiences of HEI leaders in Malaysian higher education institutions have been documented in this book using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Additionally, it emphasises the distinctive features of leadership in Malaysia's ecosystem, which go beyond conventional theories. Readers will be able to take away leadership lessons from Malaysian higher education that will help them in the future.
