ABSTRACT

This study examines the strategic vigilance and crisis leadership competencies of school administrators, highlighting the critical importance of these skills in navigating the complex and unpredictable landscape of modern education. The analysis covers a range of competencies, including adaptability, communication transparency, global engagement, practical experience, collaboration, ethical decision-making, systemic thinking, and innovation. The study underscores the necessity for school administrators to continuously enhance their skills through practical training and professional development. Key recommendations include fostering a culture of adaptability, improving communication channels, engaging with global best practices, prioritizing ethical decision-making, and promoting continuous learning and innovation. These efforts are essential for maintaining resilience, ensuring operational stability, and achieving long-term success in educational institutions. The results suggest that effective crisis leadership and strategic vigilance are less about inherent traits or background and more about ongoing development and proactive management. This research provides a comprehensive plan for improving leadership strategies, ultimately benefiting students, staff, and the broader educational community.
