Abstract. This correspondence article aims to discuss the components of educational leadership effectiveness and their interconnections. The study explores the significance of leader characteristics, behaviors, and leadership styles in achieving positive outcomes in education. It also examines the impact of different leadership styles on educational effectiveness. The findings suggest that all these components are fundamental and contribute to the overall effectiveness of educational leadership. However, it is challenging to determine which component is more significant, as they are interconnected and have relative influences. The implications of this research for educational leaders and policymakers are also discussed.
