Redefining Education and Leadership: Perspectives from Pedagogy, Well-Being, and Digital Transformation

Contemporary societies are undergoing rapid and profound transformations shaped by globalization, digitalization, and shifting social expectations. These developments have placed education and leadership at the center of scholarly and professional debates. Educational institutions are challenged to prepare individuals not only with technical knowledge but also with critical thinking, emotional resilience, ethical awareness, and the capacity for innovative action. At the same time, leaders across sectors are called upon to navigate increasingly complex environments, fostering inclusive cultures and sustainable practices. This issue, entitled Redefining Education and Leadership: Perspectives from Pedagogy, Well-Being, and Digital Transformation brings together four insightful contributions that address these challenges from diverse methodological, cultural, and disciplinary perspectives. The papers included in this issue reflect the growing recognition that effective leadership and meaningful education require holistic, human-centered, and evidence-based approaches.
