Leadership Legacy Competency of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) Administrators in Region 6, Philippines

Leadership legacy is the new trend in leadership in the 21st century which calls for more challenges to today’s leaders. It is a comprehensive model for achieving excellence in leadership which contains competencies and best practices. Leaving a long-term and enduring impact to the organization and its people makes leadership even more effective in this sense. The primary concern of this study was to determine the level of leadership legacy competency of SUC administrators in Region 6 in the Philippines as perceived by themselves, the teaching personnel and the non-teaching personnel as basis for any proposed intervention. The method of research used was descriptive and the respondents were the 33 SUC administrators, 87 non-teaching and 240 teaching personnel proportionately distributed to ten (10) State Universities and Colleges (SUCs). The result of this study revealed that the leadership legacy competency of SUC administrators as perceived by themselves is very high, while this was rated high as perceived by the non-teaching and teaching personnel. This also revealed that there is a highly significant difference in the level of leadership legacy competency of SUC administrators as perceived by themselves, by the non- teaching and teaching personnel in five (5) Best Practices namely: Holder of Vision and Values, Creator of Collaboration and Innovation, Influencer of Inspiration and Leadership, Advocator of Differences and Community and Calibrator of Responsibility and Accountability.
