Abstract:
In countries like Ethiopia, where higher education institutions are expected to address the multifaceted societal problems, it is increasingly important to study the leadership styles of the institutions, in general, and academic leadership in particular, are major determinants of success in achieving goals. Leaders in higher education institutions have to examine how to better lead their organizations, and must also find the most effective leadership approach (Kennedy, 1994; as cited in Befekadu, 2019). Bryman (2007) further proposes that leadership in higher education is expected to maintain autonomy, consultation and fostering a culture of collegiality. Collegiality refers to opportunities for members in the college to feel that they belong to a mutually respected community of scholars who value each other's contributions to the institution and feel concern for their colleagues' wellbeing.
