It is also known that universities differ in terms of working environment with other institutions where the management requires a set of requirements and skills can not be met only by professional managers as well as professional leaders to meet the challenges of management and leadership in and outside the university
What is the appropriate theory of leadership theories that fit the university
Is it a Trait leadership theory
or behavioral leadership Theory
or Servant leadership Theory?
Nowadays and according to my experience what if we apply the theory of spiritual leadership and do you have proposals in this regard?
In the period between the two world wars in the 20th century there was a strong readiness in psychology for type research. There were various type theories, but they all proved to be scientifically untenable because the overlap of personality traits was too great. On the other hand, the common sense has always distinguished personality types, for example introverted vs. extraverted. In sociology, especially in management theory, there is also the - old - question of certain leadership types. I don't know what the latest status is, but I can't imagine that empirical theories in this field are much more advanced today than they were 50 years or more ago. In the university sector - in teaching and research - it's all about science. Of course, you can say that one professor is more interested in teaching, the other in research. But I think it is difficult to form a typology here. All professors want to have as much power and influence as possible for their own institute. Ambition may vary, but motivation and a certain cognitive ability are necessary, I think.

The development of theories is important in this area, but it does not mean that we can not choose a model suitable for leadership more than others.

Of course existentialist theory .... "Existentialism" is a theory that deals with the meaning of human existence
Dear Colleague Marwan Khaleel Yousif ,Can you give me the dimensions of existential theory?
Thanks for your valuable contribution
In general, three conditions of leaders are "competence", "lucky", "adaptability to the times (to respond to the demands of the times)".
I think that the final "adaptability to the times (to respond to the demands of the times)" of these three conditions is the most important for the university.
Because the leader is not a priori a leader. This is because leaders are supposed to be created by the current university environment.
Salam Jassim Hmood to "existential theory"
1 The terms "existentialism" and "philosophy of existence" are not identical, but they mark the break with a traditional way of thinking which, according to the classical philosophy of rationalism, enlightenment, idealism and positivism, saw itself as a radical counter-movement: no longer the "essence" of man, but his mere existence was at the centre of it. If one asks which philosophers were the thinkers of the 19th century. The Danish theologian Sören Kierkegaard and the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche are then named. But they basically only play a preparatory role.
2 The great world event that shook humanity and challenged all previous values was the First World War. This was the first time that new weapons were used to kill millions of people. The question had to be: What is man - against the fact of such cruel event The German philosophers Karl Jaspers and Martin Heidegger played a central role in this. They radically questioned the traditional values that science, culture and general progress had highlighted as the achievements of modern man. What remains of man, if I consider only his subjective experience as a single (lonely) individual: guilt, fear, strangeness, loneliness, worry - and as the only "positive" side of existence: love. It was on this basic state of human existence that a new philosophy was built up, which continued after the Second World War.
3 In France it was primarily linked to the term "existentialism" and its leading representatives Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre. But the influence of this way of thinking, that the meaninglessness of life as a normal case and the hopelessness before death sets at the beginning of thinking, had worldwide significant influence until today.
4 Such a view make discussions about "leadership" and different types of it rather meaningless, perhaps even ridiclously.
