Leadership in institutions of higher education (HEIs) is important for the academic environment, educational quality, and student success. This research explored the leadership strategies implemented by a HEI in Bogotá, Colombia. A sample of 162 participants was surveyed, made up of collaborators and teachers of the institution. The results reveal that the leaders simultaneously adopt transactional and transformational leadership behaviors. This combination of leadership styles has characteristics that are directly related to the role of managers in the university institution. Understanding these dynamics can lead to improving educational practices, optimizing operational and academic management, and facilitating the interpretation of behaviors.
