Educational leadership plays a pivotal role in shaping institutional performance and student success in higher education. This interdisciplinary study investigates how leadership practices influence organizational outcomes, including academic quality, faculty satisfaction, and student engagement. Using a mixed-methods design, surveys were administered to 120 university administrators and faculty members in Brazil, complemented by institutional performance data analysis. Results indicate that transformational leadership, participatory decision-making, and strategic planning are significantly associated with higher institutional performance. The study provides evidence-based recommendations for developing effective leadership practices in universities, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration between educational management, policy studies, and organizational psychology.
