Abstract: Purpose – This study aims at exploring the relationship between educational leadership and educational management, while finding the impact of one on other. Design/methodology/approach – A snowball random sampling technique was adopted and professors/lecturers of universities, located within Islamabad and Rawalpindi, were approached to give their perceptual opinion on the subject. Self-Administered survey questionnaire was used to collect the data for study. Findings – The study endorsed the previous researches on educational leadership and its impact on effective school management. A significantly positive impact of educational leadership comprised of instructional programs, individual consideration, observation and feedback and promoting a learning climate was found showing a beta (ß) value of 0.61. These results indicate need for educational leadership qualities among the principals and management to improve effectiveness of educational management in higher education institutions of Pakistan. Practical implications – The study has implications for all stakeholders, including future researchers, to explore the area, in greater detail. Originality/value – The research is first of its kind in Pakistani context, where the concept of leadership, itself is fairly new. Since the primary data was collected by the researcher himself, it reveals original perceptions of the respondents towards the concept.
