Higher education worldwide is in a period of transition affected by globalization and internationalization, of changing relationships between universities and the workplace, the markets, and even within themselves. Such transition requires each institution to change or improve its leadership for sustainable development. Higher education in Vietnam has followed a centralized leadership model for a long time, therefore, it needs to change in order to adapt to its expansion and also to current requirements of globalization and internationalization. This paper aims to introduce some models of new leadership in higher education emerged around the world and then provides some suggestions for change at institutional level to universities in Vietnam.
