Innovation in Educational Management (FromAdministration to Transformational Leadership)

Abstract

 Educational management can no longer rely solely on administrative approaches that are procedural and structural in nature. The dynamic demands of the times, technological advancements, and the increasing complexity of educational challenges require a transformation in leadership paradigms. This article discusses the shift from traditional administrative approaches to transformational leadership in educational management. Through a literature review and analysis of management practices in various educational institutions, it was found that transformational leaders are capable of fostering motivation, innovation, and collaboration within the school environment. Leadership innovations, such as the implementation of digital technologies, data-driven decision-making, and community empowerment, are key to building adaptive and competitive educational institutions. This article aims to provide both conceptual and practical contributions for educational managers in developing leadership models that are more visionary, participatory, and transformative.
