Abstract

This paper is prepared based on the purpose to examine how leaders in the Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE) in a Malaysian Education University face the challenges using their existing leadership skills to produce graduates according to the labor market demands. Are these leaders alert and able to respond to the new globalization change in developing and producing the graduates? Quality graduates should be able to move along with the market demands and possess high competencies skills in their core area. They should be credible enough to achieve any objectives set by them or by the organization. To produce quality graduates the faculty cannot run from training them to be good leaders. Leaders in the faculty have to seriously consider how the leadership skills can be developed in the faculty staffs who are involved in producing these graduates as well as the curriculum developments for the students training.
