THE LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR OF EDUCATIONAL MANAGERS AS PERCEIVED BY THEMSELVES AND FACULTY MEMBERS AMONG SELECTED LOCAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES WITHIN METRO MANILA: BASIS FOR DESIGNING A LEADERSHIP ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM

This paper determined the leadership behavior of educational managers among selected members of the Association of Local Colleges and Universities (ALCU) within Metro Manila. Two out of eight distinct factors of leadership behavior have significant differences and six factors have no significant differences. The following recommendations are proposed: (1) Educational Managers should continuously manifest the leadership behavior that is “always” and “often” perceive. They should also enhance those “occasionally” perceived; and (2) A proposed Leadership Enhancement Program for Educational Managers must be designed, developed, used and institutionalized to enhance the development of both educational managers' and faculty members' further growth potentials.
