Abstract

World Class University is one of the obstacles facing higher education. Nowadays, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendibudristek) has eight Key Performance Indicators (IKU) for higher education that are aligned with a variety of indicators applied by world-class ranking institutions or World Class University (WCU). All universities are required to respond quickly and effectively, particularly Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), which seeks to grow into a conservation-focused institution with a global reputation. Leadership is the fundamental factor determining university vision. Growing Leadership was conceptualized by Fathur Rokhman (2016, 2018), and it is comparable to a tree with principles that aims to: (1) recognize the seeds of leadership growth, (2) cultivate a robust leadership tree, (3) establish a network of leadership trees, (4) manage leadership storms, and (5) cultivate new leadership seeds. According to the data analysis, the most crucial component of the five stages is expanding the tree^s leadership, but the other four are also significant. Therefore, the essential step that must be performed is developing a leadership model for strengthening the professionalism of education professionals in the direction of a World Class University.
