Abstract- This paper will discuss school leadership in the 21st century. In the 21st century, the role of school leaders has evolved from traditional administrative figures to visionary captains of education. With the dynamic landscape of education and the rapid advancement of technology, effective school leadership has never been more crucial. Effective school leaders are those who can make evidence-informed decisions, provide the instructional leadership that teachers need to help all their students succeed in school, and create a collaborative school environment in which teachers take part in school decisions. Gone are the days when school leadership simply meant managing administrative tasks. In the current era, school leaders are catalysts for change, driving educational excellence, fostering a positive school culture, and ensuring student success. Effective school leadership can significantly impact student performance, teacher satisfaction, and overall school outcomes. Great leaders need to have strong self-awareness, need to be passionate visionaries, should have great clarity of purpose and should have a clear sense of direction while leading their teams. A great leader will lead a team, rather than working in isolation. Leaders need to constantly upgrade their skill to be effective, relevant and efficient in their role.
