%X The systematic review delves into the multifaceted landscape of educational leadership and management,  highlighting diverse leadership styles, challenges in leadership development, impacts on teaching practices and  student outcomes, and gender disparities in leadership roles. Transformational, instructional, and distributed  leadership styles emerge as pivotal in shaping educational institutions, with effective practices positively influencing  teaching quality and student achievement. However, challenges such as the lack of established qualifications for  school leaders and gender disparities pose significant barriers to leadership development and equity. The study  emphasizes the need for policymakers and stakeholders to prioritize the cultivation of effective leadership pipelines  and support mechanisms to address these challenges. Initiatives to promote gender equity and empower women in  leadership roles, such as scholarships and fellowships, are also advocated. Ultimately, the findings underscore the  critical role of educational leadership in shaping the future of education and call for collaborative action to cultivate  inclusive, effective, and visionary leadership practices that advance educational excellence and equity.
