This article examines the realities and challenges of educational leadership in Indonesia through the lens of Mike Bottery’s concept of Ecological Leadership (2004), using a critical literature review approach based on reputable international journals. The findings indicate that global neoliberal pressures—manifested through performativity, rigid standardization, and a culture of distrust—have significantly influenced school leadership practices in Indonesia. These findings support Bottery’s arguments regarding the reduction of educational goals to economic instruments, the erosion of teacher professionalism, and the risks of a one-size-fits-all approach in diverse educational contexts. Therefore, the transformation toward ecological leadership is an urgent necessity, particularly in the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar policy, emphasizing ecological-political awareness, reflective accountability, and the empowerment of local communities as the foundations of adaptive, ethical, and equitable leadership.
