The terms globalisation and internationalisation of the university have received numerous attention worldwide. Yet, being internationally visible does not mean the university is properly internationalised. A university requires the capacity to harness the power of strategic partnership and attract renowned intellectuals to attain global status and international appeal. University leadership must foster a holistic ecosystem in addressing community issues in line with SDGs. The study evaluates and proposes an integrative analytical skillset for strategic leadership, combining three different areas of research: job-related competencies, interpersonal competencies, and personal competencies, juxtaposing two dimensions - value and uniqueness - revealing different forms of university leadership.
