Leadership is the concept of influencing others, whether fully or partially, by building their trust and motivating them verbally and in action. This does not necessarily imply authority or power. It can also refer to a leader's ability to influence power voluntarily delegated to them by members of a department. Academic leadership is a specific area of leadership within an educational environment or institution. In educational institutions, stakeholder value refers to the value of stakeholders such as students, staff, the community, and funding institutions. The various responsibilities of an excellent academic leader include administering the department, fulfilling the role of a faculty member, providing service and support to various constituencies (college, university, external community, associations), and fostering professional and personal development. This paper addresses various challenges in academic leadership, building organizations for change, industry-academic collaboration, and how to develop and nurture effective leadership among students in higher education
