Abstract
The current research seeks to enhance current university leadership styles by using the Kaizen approach from a university leadership point of view it also highlights the requirements needed to improve university leadership by applying the Kaizen approach. To achieve these objectives, the research uses the questionnaire as a tool to collect research data and applies this to the leaders, faculty, and staff of four universities in the MENA area. The research sample consists of 160 individuals (including deans, co-deans, department heads, faculty, staff, and employees) from four different universities. The research concluded with several results, from which the majority of the sample first agreed that there is a lack of a Kaizen approach culture among university leadership, and also agreed on the importance of applying Kaizen principles as a model for enhancing university leadership.
