Respondents were selected from 40 colleges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa using a cluster sampling technique. Data were collected from 720 male and female teachers and principals working in government colleges in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region. The research instrument was a comprehensive questionnaire designed to assess two key variables: leadership strategies and organizational excellence.Effective leadership practices were found necessary but they must be complemented by a supportive organizational environment and adequate resources to achieve high performance and it also provides evidence for leaders and organizations to improve their strategies for achieving organizational success.
