Additionally, it explores the broader repercussions on the academic culture, shaping institutional policies and decision-making processes. The role of educational leadership takes center stage, with an emphasis on leadership practices that either contribute to or mitigate sycophantic behavior. Proposed strategies for educational leaders focus on fostering an environment conducive to constructive feedback and professional growth. In addressing the intricacies of sycophantic behavior within the educational sector, this study offers a foundation for future research and practical interventions. By unravelling the conceptual landscape of sycophancy in education, it contributes to the ongoing dialogue on organizational culture, leadership, and the pursuit of excellence in teaching and learning
