A. Introduction
Quality education can produce quality and productive human resources (Julaiha, 2019).Educational institutions have a function as education providers specifically designed to educate through guidance in accordance with government policies.Higher education is an institution that is complex and unique.It is complex because as an organizational unit in it there are various components which are interrelated and mutually determine each other.While it is unique as an organizational unit, it has certain characteristics that other organizations do not have.Among the uniqueness is the occurrence of a learning process and the place where the acculturation of human life takes place.
Higher education is one of the organizations that needs to be managed properly, therefore it requires a leader who is able to organize the organization in order to achieve goals and is able to work with a number of people in higher education.According to (Marzuwan et al., 2016) characteristics of good and successful leaders have certain traits and skills.Its characteristics include being able to adapt to situations, sensitive to the social environment, ambitious and result oriented, assertive, able to work together, convincing, independent, able to influence others, resistant to stress and able to assume responsibility.Furthermore, Kasali said that a leader moving from level one to level five requires 5 elements, namely Vision, Courage, Reality and Ethics (Riyatuljannah, 2020).This is a series of activities that must be controlled in a competitive manner and managed successfully.This is what education administration or higher education management says.
Educational administration is a series of efforts to realize optimal results to achieve educational goals through all the potential that exists in these educational institutions such as lecturers, educational staff, facilities and infrastructure and the surrounding environment.In this case the role of the leader is needed (Sari et al., 2021) said leadership is how the leader's way or strategy in influencing, motivating and empowering every available resource to achieve the goals set in an organization.The leader's attention greatly influences the activities to be carried out in an institution.According to (Efendi et al., 2019) stated that a leader who has high concern, both for completing tasks and for human relations, will lead more effectively, especially if he acts as a person who can help his subordinates when they are in trouble.Wise, loving, and sincere leaders will create more open, two-way communication that will result in a better mutual understanding.
The leadership of the head of STKIP is responsible for the smooth implementation of education and the learning process.To guarantee and create high rationality, there needs to be a systematic process of activity.The activity process in its application is called the main function of leadership.Endang Mulyasa said that the leadership function is summarized in the term EMASLIM-FM namely the functions of educator, manager, administrator, supervisor, leader, innovator, and motivator, figure and mediator.So thus, the work of school principals is increasing day by day and always increasing in accordance with the expected development of education (Djunaidi, 2017).Furthermore, Helmawati has seven main roles as Chair, namely as: 1) educator, 2) manager, 3) administrator, 4) supervisor, 5) leader, 6) creator of the work climate and 7) guidance and counseling services (Mulyati, 2022).
It is this main function that must be carried out by the head of the tertiary institution to realize the goals of the Higher Education in accordance with the vision and mission.In carrying out their duties properly, the head of the tertiary institution should understand, master and be able to carry out activities related to the duties and functions of leadership.(Wardah, Suhardi, 2023) said an educator the success or even failure of an institution is largely determined by the leader of the institution.
