This study analyzes the impact of educational leadership on job satisfaction and academic performance from the perspective of 180 teachers in basic and secondary education institutions. Using a mixed-methods approach, surveys and interviews were conducted to identify the most valued leadership styles. The results show that transformational and distributed leadership styles have a positive correlation with teacher satisfaction and student performance. Conversely, autocratic and laissez-faire leadership styles are associated with lower levels of satisfaction and performance. It is concluded that the implementation of participatory and collaborative leadership is key to improving educational quality.
