Leading to Serve, Serving to Lead: A Conceptual Review of Servant and Instructional Leadership in Malaysian Education

Abstract

This manuscript presents a conceptual review of Servant Leadership and Instructional Leadership within the Malaysian education system. The analysis highlights the unique contextual factors in Malaysia that shape these leadership frameworks, especially under the Malaysian Education Blueprint (MEB) 2013-2025, which emphasizes the need for effective leadership to enhance educational quality. This review synthesizes existing literature, revealing that while instructional leadership focuses on high academic standards, servant leadership promotes holistic educational environments that prioritize personal growth and collaborative decision-making. Furthermore, it aims to elucidate the interplay between these two leadership styles in addressing contemporary challenges within Malaysian educational institutions.
