Abstract: The paper titled "Enhancing Educational Outcomes through Servant and Authentic Leadership: Addressing Low Teacher Morale and High Turnover Rates" explores the impact of two leadership theories--servant leadership and authentic leadership--on educational settings. The study addresses issues such as low teacher morale, high turnover rates, and underperformance in schools. It argues that servant leadership, which focuses on serving followers, and authentic leadership, which emphasizes integrity and trust, can foster a positive school culture. Implementing these leadership styles can result in improved teacher job satisfaction, retention, and student academic performance. Through a review of relevant research, the paper demonstrates that a leadership approach grounded in empathy, support, and authenticity can have transformative effects on educational outcomes.
